your bucket list

The place is dripping with history, and the ruins are beautifully preserved.
.2- One of the ten great Roman cities under the umbrella of the
“Decapolis,” Jerash (or Gerasa, as it was once called), will make you truly
realize the depth and breadth of the Roman Empire.

you loved “Gladiator,” you can take in one of the smallest hippodromes in the
Roman Empire: it used to seat around 5,000 (the largest, by contrast, was in Constantinople , and could seat over 60,000).
4- The unmistakable Hadrian’s Arch, which is a
carbon copy of the several that are floating around the world (one of them is
in London ), is
a great photo spot. Once you’ve crossed this arch you will find yourself privy

Artemis,” in the world, next only to the “Temple of Diana ”

massive Corinthian Columns, you’ll realize how impressive a feat of engineering
this Temple is.

churches. At least 15 Byzantine churches have been found here, and many believe
there are several more waiting to be unearthed.

lesson in the art of the ancient temples of worship.
