Jerash

20 °C
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.

A personal dream Awesome adventure!! I enjoyed every second. Visiting Petra, riding in the desert at Wadi Rum, sleeping under the open sky if wanted, enjoying breathtaking views every day... and all this with wonderful and well-cared-for Arabian horses. I was lucky and got many tips for handling Arabian horses from the owner, Hashem Farajat. Afterwards, a relaxing visit of the Dead Sea. Everything was perfectly organized by the Amman office and on-site personnel. 100% recommendation!!

Simply Unfogettable!! The view of Mount Nebo was amazing!! The day was foggy but we we were able to see the majestic view from the eastern side. The sign board showing the cities in the Holy Land across the Jordan River was simply jaw-dropping! Had to imagine through the fog, the beauty of the land. A simply unforgettable trip!!

Amazing trip 😊 This is amazing trip with friends. We’re go to the Jordan with « copine de voyage ». Shaher is a great guide and he’s very competent. He can say about history, political and fun in Jordan. It was a very nice trip and external company was always in time for activities. Thank you so much for that. Sarah
