Description
Discover the ancient Roman city of Jerash on a guided tour. Explore the ruins, walk through Hadrian’s Arch, and see the Temple of Artemis.
Begin your journey at the monumental Hadrian’s Arch, built in 129 AD to honor the visit of Emperor Hadrian. Walk through this grand gateway and step into a world of magnificent ruins — from colonnaded streets and temples to theaters and plazas.
Stroll along the Cardo Maximus, the main street of ancient Jerash, and admire the original stone pavement still marked by the wheels of Roman chariots. On both sides, see towering columns and the remains of ancient shops, giving life to the bustling market scene that once filled the city.
Visit the Temple of Artemis, dedicated to the city’s patron goddess, and see its tall Corinthian columns — a true symbol of Jerash’s splendor and power during its golden age.
