Places
Jerash
A close second to Petra on the list of favorite destinations in Jordan is the ancient city of Jerash.
Jerash is considered the best preserved and most complete city of the Decapolis. Nestled in a green and well-watered valley in the biblical land of Gilead, the remains of the ancient city have long attracted tourists, scholars and students from all over the world.
Today’s visitors may wander among the original temples, theaters, plazas, bathes and colonnaded streets dating from the Bronze Age, the Iron Age, the Hellenistic, Roman, Byzantine, Umayyad and Abbasid periods. Nightly sound and light shows through the summer months, and the annual Jerash Festival of Culture and Arts held each July, brings the ancient community to live for today’s visitor.
