Did you know? Jerash

Jerash is one of the best-preserved Roman cities outside Italy, with ruins dating back to the 1st century CE when it was known as Gerasa.

The ancient city was buried under sand and rubble for centuries until Swiss explorer Ulrich Jasper Seetzen rediscovered it in 1806.

Jerash's oval plaza (forum) is one of the largest of its kind in the Roman world, surrounded by 160 Corinthian columns.

The city's two theatres could hold up to 3,000 spectators and are still used today for concerts and cultural performances during the Jerash Festival of Culture and Arts.

Jerash lies in the Gilead region, about 50 km north of Amman, and was a major trading hub connecting Arabia, Syria, and the Mediterranean during Roman times.

The city's sophisticated water system, including aqueducts and cisterns, demonstrates advanced Roman engineering adapted to a semi-arid climate.
