Less than an hour north of Amman lies the ancient city of Jerash, a well-reserved Roman city.
For centuries, the city has been hidden under the ground and the sand has protected it very well. Excavations got under way in the 1920s and continue to this day. Although apparently large parts of the city have been uncovered, it is still estimated that around 90% of the city is still buried under the ground. Approaching the city from the South, you first walk past the Triumphal Arch and along the hippodrome to the actual entry. When you enter the city through the South Gate, you become aware of its size and the grandness of its monuments. On your left is the Temple of Zeus, ahead the oval-shaped forum, and from the forum you see a colonnaded street stretch out to the North Gate.
