Definitely a site not to miss. Excellent preservation and the swaying columns are impressive. Can highly recommend the tour guides at Jerash, they are by far some of the best in Jordan and well worth the small amount extra. You will find them under the shade of a tree opposite the cafe just prior to the entrance. Depending who is working you will find French and German speaking guides as well as English and Arabic. There is a set fee so no need to haggle but if you're going to tip only 1 person in your travels make sure its your guide at Jearsh - they really are worth it. If you're there in spring or after some rain you may be lucky enough to see the stunning wildflowers growing on the unexcavated areas leading up to the mosaics. A beautiful splash of colour for your photos! Jerash is easily done in a half-day trip from Amman (but allow a full day if you have time). Or well worth the stop if you're travelling between Amman and Damascus.

A fantastic place! Such amazing Roman ruins! Everything about it is incredible, especially when you consider that they are still finding more and more ruins. The fact that the ruins are juxtaposed next to the modern day city make it even more spectacular. This is an easy side trip from Amman, but give yourself some time to see everything and wander. I don't know what my favorite part was, but hearing the bag-pipes playing in the stadium/coloseum was really fun, and not at all what I expected!

Stunning place with ruins from the Roman Empire times. An entire city with hundreds of buildings. It's huge, well preserved, with gorgeous mosaiques and plenty to see. In summertime you even get Roman shows there.

Excellent site! Well worth the few hours of walking! Be sure to pay a few extra $ for a tour guide to show you the rocking rocks, lions gate, gold market, etc!

It's the most well preserved site of Roman Architecture.
