Jerash Roman Ruins- A Day trip from Amman, Capital of Jordan in Middle East
Jerash had some of the finest Roman ruins I’ve seen. It was one of the 10 great cities—the Decapolis—in ancient times. An earthquake leveled the area in A.D. 747, and Jerash was principally abandoned. Until European archaeologists came along in the 1800s it was almost entirely ignored, remaining largely buried, preserving the old stuff in pristine condition.
