Tour of Jerash - Best Preserved Roman City in the World
Filmed with Zhiyutn Tech Evolution Gimbal
I took a 3 hour guided tour of Jerash which is located just north of Amman. It takes about 25 minutes by car to get there. I did not take a group tour but those options are available.
The city itself is much larger than you first imagine. The history is rich between the transfer of power from for example Greek to Roman, though the history extends before those influences.
The entrance fee was worth it and the guided tour cost me about 50 JD paid directly to the guide upon the end of the tour.
The guide was great! His name is Nader, educated in Canada and well spoken, knowledgeable and a pleasant person to be around. His phone number 00962797795656. Please check the time in Jordan before calling him.
Prepare to do a lot of walking, you can easily do 4-5 miles in the entire complex or just visit the hippodrome, the Roman center and the temple. It's up to you.
The weather in December was about 70F all day in the sun. Bring water and sunblock, sunglasses and hat.
You can also visit the ruins of a Templar castle 15 minutes away if you like that is situated on a big hill. More on that in a future video.

***************************************************
We ended our visit to Jordan with a visit to the world’s best preserved Roman Ruins site outside of Italy. Just outside Jordan’s capital city Amman, this is such an accessible and historically relevant site to visit!
It was eye opening to see such well preserved ancient ruins - a 600m colonnaded street, a Hippodrome where gladiators fought, and a 3000 seat amphitheater with such amazing acoustics that it’s still used for concerts, performances and chariot races today!
After a long day of walking, we fought the traffic in Amman and had some more authentic Jordanian cuisine before heading to the airport. Jordan is a country of such varied landscape and activities, in just a few days we saw one of the world wonders, saw the undersea life at the Red Sea, camped in a Martian-like landscape, floated in the Dead Sea and saw Roman ruins while not even in Italy!
While we were sad to leave Jordan, we’re excited to be heading to our 54th country - Oman!

ABOUT US
We have been traveling together for the last 10 years. It all started when we applied to the Amazing Race show and they called us for an interview. We interviewed but didn’t make the final cut because we didn’t have enough ‘drama’ in our relationship. But that didn’t stop us from doing our OWN amazing race of traveling the world but at our own pace! We have just hit our 50th country and thought it would be fun to document our journey!
We are looking forward to hitting all 215 countries. Subscribe to our channel and join us on the adventure!!

So this is a Roman planned theater. When in use it could sit up to three thousand people and it was used for all kinds of performances.
Meow.
We're now at the temple of Artemis the Goddess of the Sea.
So with the wall we were looking at just behind the olive press you can track the three different civilizations because at the very bottom you have the Greek blocks which were all different sizes and didn't really match. Then you can see the Roman style which were the big blocks of limestone and then at the very top there were smaller blocks which were placed by an Islamic culture.
This particular section was only uncovered in the 1970's. Prior to that it was underground.

Jerash is home to the most insane ancient ruins! This city is the most well-preserved Roman city in the world. Walking around the Roman ruins here in the Middle East was an eye-opening experience into the way the Roman Empire lived. Visiting ancient Jerash was a great start to our time in the Kingdom of Jordan. Hannah was here 4 years ago and was able to share a lot of cool Middle East history throughout this video. // Travel Vlog 102 // Jerash, Jordan

Hi! We're Hannah and Chad! We met at college and got married in August of 2016. As poor newlyweds and recent college grads, we moved to New York City to begin our careers in finance. Only one year later, after accumulating over 2 million miles and points through travel hacking, we booked round-the-world business class tickets to over 40 countries for free. We quit our jobs, sold everything we owned, and began this once-in-a-lifetime adventure on August 27, 2018.

Jerash the Roman Ruins, Jordan
Jerash (Jordan) Vacation Travel Video Guide
Travel video about destination Jerash in Jordan.
Northern Jordan contains many magnificent historic locations including that of Gerasa, today’s Jerash, that is one of the most well-preserved metropolises of ancient Rome.Gerasa had its economic and cultural high season in the first century A.D. while under Roman rule. Situated on a small hill, the Temple Of Zeus was built in the years 162 and 163 A.D. The town developed quickly within the union of the Greek Dekapolis, a federation of ten important ancient cites in the Near East and profited from the agriculture of the surrounding area and from ore mining in the nearby Aljun Mountains. This financial success gave rise to the city’s large building projects, particularly in the second century A.D. A further remarkable feature of the architecture in Gerasa is the wide and eight hundred metre long street, the Cardo Maximus, once the city’s main street. It was originally flanked by columns, five hundred of which have survived. Directly south of the Artemis Temple are the remains of the Sankt Theodor Church that has the three aisled ground plan of a basilica and dates back to the fifth century. At the beginning of the nineteenth century Gerasa was rediscovered by archaeologists. The twentieth century brought with it new excavations that have since returned this amazing ancient city into the full light of day.

VIDEO TRANSCRIPT:
We are at the ancient Roman city of Jerash
Located in North Jordan
Jerash dates back more than 6500 years
and is one of the best preserved Roman cities
outside of Italy
Here's where the chariot races take place
we're going to be watching those later this
afternoon should be pretty interesting
Each day there are live performances
reenacting great battles as Roman soldiers
demonstrate their tactics, equipment and weapons
and the grand finale ends with a chariot race
around the hippodrome
We've come to the amphitheatre and I'm standing
on the stage now the cool thing about this
place is that it was built to the north to
protect all of the people from the sun because
they didn't have big canopies and it was all
open air so at least if it was facing this way they
didn't have the harsh sun while they were
watching their performances
We just watched a gladiator show
soldiers were pretending that they were fighting
it was really a cool thing to do when you
come here!

Jerash Jordan .The city of Jerash is located about 50 Km North of Amman, the capital city of Jordan.
It sits on a plateau, 550 meters above sea level, on the eastern section of the Ajloun hills, also known as the Gilead hills, in an area blessed with a year round supply of water. The presence of Water and the moderate climate enjoyed by this part of Jordan made this place an ideal spot for a city.
This Roman city lay buried in sand for a thousand years before rising up from under the rubble and coming back to life, in the late 19th century, when a group of migrant Circassians settled on the eastern side of the ancient city, and started the modern day town of Jerash.
Today, and close to a century after its rediscovery, Jerash is one of the most extensively researched sites in the entire Roman East. Nevertheless, it is believed that more than half of the original city of Jerash, once home to more than 20,000 people, still remains hidden under rubble and sand. It is However, Jerash is the only surviving city of the Decapolis complete with colonnaded streets and grand public buildings, where one can re-live the grandeur of an ancient Roman city , go back in time and get a glimpse at how life was2000 years ago
