One of the best preserved Roman cities, it’s important to have enough time to see the whole place. Maybe 2-2.5 hours.
There are many interesting structures to see, including theaters, temples, hippodrome, streets, etc.
The trails off the main route offer great views. A very fascinating place! A must see!!

The soaring stone columns of Jerash's Temple of Artemis are amazingly impressive. Expertly cut, the towering columns create a stunning forest of limestone. Their intricate details are amazingly well-preserved after thousands of years. The temple's imposing colonnaded entrance leads into a vast sanctuary with alcoves. No visit to these impressive ruins is complete without seeing these magnificent columns.
In the 7 days I was in Jordan, this site and Petra were the ones I would recommend the most.
AMAZING. JAW DROPPING. WOOOWWWWW. Honestly, the way it's been kept, the details, the history, everything about Jerash was phenomenal.
Definitely make it a must not a maybe if you go to Jordan.

Jerash is a fantastic example of the Roman presence Jordan. The many temples and public spaces have been and are being discovered and restored to make them easily accessible. This is a " do not miss" destination.
What an amazing trip what an amazing tour. The place is big and filled with historical treasures. Highly recommend and I am definitely coming again
Beautiful place to visit, at the beginning a lot of sales people and people who give away a lot of stuff, but expect a big tip for their generosity.
This is Jordan’s largest Roman site and one of the best preserved Roman cities in the world. It is simply breathtaking!
It’s definitely worth hiring a guide to make the city’s history come alive, and to allow at least 3, maybe 4 hours to explore this place. There is little shade here, so a head covering, sunscreen and plenty of water are also highly recommended.
Although Petra is Jordan’s #1 architectural tourist attraction, this place should definitely be on your itinerary.

Amazing place! You can vividly imagine a bustling Roman city since the hippodrome and market square, as well as colonnaded street are well preserved. The acoustics in the northern theater is incredible! The only downside was that it was terribly hot in August.
Those who love European culture outside of Europe are in the right place. This place is huge and well prevented. Be careful while you are admiring the architecture cuz days are very hot here and from your excitement, your erection could be more than obvious 🤣
There are also nice souvenir stores, facilities and local food. Good to see. Thank you🤩

A large ancient Roman city in the city of Jerash. The place has a car parking, and then you enter a small souk that sells souvenirs and snacks/drinks. You buy tickets from here, and then you start your journey of exploring the many amphitheaters, pillars, roads, and gathering areas. Allocate anywhere between half to one full day to explore and enjoy this place.
Restrooms are at the entrance area only. Once you are in the ancient city, no restrooms or snacks/drinks to buy are available.

I went to Jerash to see the festival that decorates the hot summer night every year. It was a festival that I would definitely like to come back next year.
Jordanians are always friendly and nice to me.

The Temple of Artemis in Jerash, Jordan, was a fascinating archaeological gem, showcasing the religious devotion and architectural prowess of the ancient civilizations. Its intricate carvings and well-preserved remains were a testament to the reverence and significance of the goddess Artemis in the ancient world. Exploring this site was a captivating journey into the past, leaving me with a profound appreciation for the cultural heritage and historical legacy of Jerash.
A beautiful temple worth visiting!
Nice columns and colors. Here you can see the moving pillar.
A very preserved and beautiful temple.
Very peaceful and walk was fantastic with beautiful breeze and the views.

Very well preserved and beautiful. Definitely go inside and under the temple. I’m not sure if you need a guide for this or not. There are guides (well they might be guides but not official guides) who will take you in and under and will charge 5JD. Very cool to explore around it and will only take like 10 minutes. Neat to see how the columns were made to move to be earthquake resistant too.
