The history of Jerash is a long and detailed one that is best discovered whilst exploring the ruins and museums of the city itself. The city was conquered by General Pompey in 64 BC when it was named Gerasa. Gerasa grew in wealth and later became a colony in the third century. Due to an earthquake and a number of crusades leading up to the 12th Century, the city’s ancient sites were not discovered again until the end of the 19th century.

Jerash is the architectural site of the ancient Greek and Roman reigns in Jordan. It is located on a hillside not far from the city of Amman, Jordan. Can you overlook the city of Jarash? It was built 300 BC and took nearly 100 years to build. The Roman and Greek styles of the pillars are majestic and tall, and they stand in line. On each pillar, the relics of the colonial period are carved on them. Seeing the ruins of Jarash will be associated with the once bustling Summer Palace. Differently, the Summer Palace is a human disaster, destroyed by war and looting. Jerash because of the earthquake. As a monument, it is worth visiting. There are some interactive projects inside, such as the Roman chariot experience, but unfortunately there is no Chinese tour guide, and the local tour guide's English is not very good. So it is recommended to do your homework before going to make up for historical knowledge. Overall, the trip was rewarding.
Jerash Roman Ancient Site is located 48 kilometers north of Amman, Jordan's capital, and is the best preserved ancient Roman city site in the world except Italy. It is believed that the ancient city was built during the Roman Empire in the first century BC. Others believe that it may have been built earlier. Today's ancient city site, although the buildings are seriously damaged, collapsed, some are even unrecognizable. But the remaining towers, palaces, squares and open-air theaters all show the glory of the past, the momentum is still moving...
Jerash Roman ruins - Located 50 kilometers north of Amman, Jordan, it is one of the world's best preserved ancient Roman cities. The ancient city was buried for nearly a thousand years, discovered by German travellers in 1806, and excavated by archaeological teams from 1920 to see the sky. It is currently an important tourist attraction in Jordan. It is much larger than the Turkish city of Efesso, which shows how grand the scale of the year was, and the world heritage site is worth a visit.
I have seen a lot of ancient Roman ruins, and I just thought before I went to Gerash, oh, there are ancient Roman ruins here, so go and see it. Who knows, when I first arrived in Gerash, the rain fell on my face and suddenly I didn't have the desire to visit. Escape also like into Hadrian Arc de Triomphe left hand side of a building, only to find a huge gladiator, wind and rain in the wind and rain, but also wild. Who knows, when we walked to the oval square, the rain stopped, the blue sky came out, and went up to a highland in the south, and was shocked when we saw the whole picture of Gerash. This is the first time I have seen such a large and complete square, such a long and ancient column street, so many such neat stone pillars. It is really an instant crossing to ancient Rome, no wonder it is called "Pompeii of the Middle East".
Very well preserved relics of the ancient Roman era. The ancient Roman theater in which the important music activities in Jordan are also held here, the condensation effect is very good. If I was in Rome before, I remember visiting the ancient Roman theater and it seems that I can't get in. Here you can get in close contact. Sitting here like the audience thousands of years ago [screaming]
