Visiting the ancient past through the ruins

Visiting Jerash in Jordan is like stepping back in time to the days of the Roman Empire. This ancient city, often referred to as the "Pompeii of the East," boasts remarkably preserved ruins that offer a glimpse into its glorious past. As you wander through the sprawling archaeological site, you'll encounter imposing colonnaded streets, well-preserved theaters, grand temples, and intricate mosaics. The highlight is the Oval Plaza, a vast open space surrounded by towering columns, where chariot races and other events once took place. Jerash's rich history comes alive as you explore its intricate architecture and imagine life in ancient times. Don't miss the opportunity to witness the breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape. It's a journey through history that will leave you in awe of Jordan's cultural heritage. #trip #travel #jordan #history #culture #jerash
