    It was AMAZING! Especially the Collosseum. There were guys going around and if you say hi they will most likely offer to take photos for you( these were amazing). Also be prepared for a LOT of friendly questions as they tend to be interested in everyone. Really worth it.

    Very interesting as it is a rare example of a remaining castle built by Muslim forces. There is a reasonable amount to look round and there are wonderful views over the countryside from the top

    Adjacent to a significant place of worship (the Temple of Zeus) is a significant place of entertainment; the South Theatre. Built around 90 AD it is the oldest of the three theatres in the city. It is also the largest of the three theatres and could hold more than 3,000 people. As well as the impressive semi-circular bank of seats there is also an impressive stage area.

    Used for public gatherings and dating back to the first century AD, the Oval Plaza is surfaced with stones (cut to align with the space's distinctive oval shape) and surrounded by columns. In the centre is a pedestal which, it is thought, was meant to be the base of a statue. This large open space, which is well worth finding (you can't really miss it) gives you an idea of just how magnificent must have been the rest of the city.

    Built to honour the visit of Emperor Hadrian in 129AD, Hadrian's Arch is one of the first things you see after you have entered the Jerash Archaeological Site. This massive 'Arch of Triumph' is impressive to say the least and you cannot but stand in awe when you look at it.

    Artemis Temple is surrounded by a unique columns, worship area in the middle and few souvenir stalls serves that area. What is interesting here is the dancing column, a little area with spoon or even you can put your key of finger. This column has a slow movement without any issue to the spoon or the key or even your finger.

    The Colonnaded Street (also known as the Cardo) was the main street of the ancient city and lead, in a straight line, from the Oval Plaza to the North Gate. It was built at the start of the second century AD and was the main roadway to the Temple of Zeus. However, only a few of the columns visible today are from Roman times as most of them date from the later Byzantine era (from 300 AD). As the city grew, so did the Cardo with shops being added. It is very interesting to walk along this roadway and imagine the hustle and bustle that must have been going on in those days long ago.

    Once you have dodged the souvenir sellers at the entrance, the ruins in the archaeological park in Jerash are some of the best preserved ruins in the world of a Roman provincial town. They should be on the 'must to do' list of anyone visiting Jordan.

    A great wildlife and natural semi national park in Ajlun, 40 kilometers far from the capital Amman, Jordan. Animals who sacrifice in other countries brought to this place for treatment and caring. A wonderful crew who run after the sanctuary. We saw many bears, lions, hyenas, bengal tigers, cheetah and many monkeys. Amazing visit with detailed information from our guide Firas Odaibat.

    Not far from the Oval Plaza is one of the oldest parts of the Roman city and a particular place of worship; the Temple of Zeus. Sitting on the top of a hill it is visible from most parts as you walk around the ruins. It is worth a climb up the hill to look at its two levels and eight columns and imagine what must have happened here in Roman times. It is also worth the climb to stand by the columns and look at the rest of the ruins spread out below.

    Located very close to the entrance of Northern Gate. Such a huge gate, horse stable and theatre enough for 17000 people. Hippodrome is adjacent to the horse stables.
