About one hours drive from Amman. This "Greco-Roman" city
is known as the best preserved and most intact city of the
Decapolis, a confederation of ten roman cities dating from
the B.C. Visitors may wonder through the temple of Artemis,
the Theatres, Plazas, Bath and Colonnaded streets, all enclosed
within the city walls of Jerash.
Within these walls have been found the remains of settlements
dating from the bronze age. In the month of July, sound
and light performances bring the ancient to life, with its
cultural festival, provdes a stage and meeting place for
artists and performers world wide.
