The Roman ruins at Jerash are well worth spending a day to explore. The Forum, Cardo Maximus and South Theatre are highlights. For a cheesy fun experience see the chariot racing and centurion display in the Hippodrome. For convenient accommodation stay nearby at the small, clean Hadrian Gate Hotel. For a satisfying, inexpensive meal eat at the Al-Khayyam restaurant specialising in grilled meats opposite the city walls of the Jerash site.
