I always love visiting the old Roman town of Gerasa on our trips to Jordan, & no exception on our last visit, albeit in the heat of July! My one bug bear would be that, as a foreigner, I was pestered quite a bit by shop vendors for my custom. Understanding that times have been super tough during covid, I was more than willing to buy souvenirs from the stalls at the entrance - albeit on a limited budget - but still felt quite pressured which did spoil the atmosphere. My recommendation at this time would be to hire a guide in advance, or get a recommendation on arrival. There's so much of historical interest that's really worth knowing about. (Don't let a "guide" attach himself to you & then request a good sum of money for the very little knowledge he has - as I mistakenly did.)

An absolutely gorgeous step into history. It was hot but doable. The area is much larger than meets the eye and you can feel the Roman history in the area. There are so many pictures that should be taken here. This was one of my favorite stops in Jordan. The only con is the number of people trying to sell you things mostly towards the front.

A grand and beautiful structure which is now about half of its original height. The Arch of Hadrian was constructed in honor of Hadrian's visit to Jerash. Hadrian was the Roman Emperor in the second century AD. The arch originally stood at 22m and is now 11m after millennia of erosion

After Petra and Wadi Rum, Jerash is another site that you don’t want to miss on your visit to Amman, Jordan. The site is quite Big and requires a couple of hours to cover. • • Information • (Entry: 8 JD) The Ruins of The Roman City of Jerash. At the extreme south of the site is the striking Hadrian’s Arch, also known as the Triumphal Arch, which was built in AD 129 in honour of the visit of Emperor Hadrian. •

Incredible entrance to and incredible site. This is just the beginning and it gets bigger and better as you go along. Great way to enter into an amazing historical site that keeps going on and on. Great spot for pictures. I highly recommend it.

Not the arch from Greece but it’s still cool and party of the same epoch. Tons of people visit here. It is literally overwhelming at all if it. It might be good to just visit this arch and one other place and focus on those. We took a bus so I can speak on parking Try and bring a guide to learn all you can.

Can see this using the Jordan pass. You walk through the entrance and get a little bit of hassle from people trying to sell you souvenirs etc but you can run the gauntlet and get past them easily enough. The arch is pretty big and spectacular to look at. You can see if from the road outside but to see it up close and walk under it is an experience.

Lovely place and we really enjoyed our visit

Jerash is an archeological site that one must not skip when in Jordan. And a tip the market in this site has the best prices compared to all the other markets on Jordan

The entire complex is great!! Coming in the arch of Adrien is nice but has nothing exceptional but the succession of monuments, the surface of the entire site really gives a sense of how great of a builder our ancestors were! The site has little shade, you can buy water on site so you don’t need to take too much water but the deeper you get on the site, the more expansive the water gets (up to 1.5 Jordan dollars for a small bottle). This is nonetheless worth it as you’ll see great ancient cities buildings you didn’t expect to find in Jordan! Plan for 3/4 hours on site as you go from one discovery to another. The kids had a lot of fun going through the ruins as in Jordan they benefit from a lot of freedom in what they can experiment!!!!

This is one of the most amazing sites to see with your own eyes. You should definately have it on your bucket list! Super amazing!!!

One of many monuments attributed to Hadrian in the Mediterranean. This one is well preserved. It also serves as the southern gateway to the Jerash archeological site. Many vendors will attempt to sell you sets of postcards near the arch - the postcards seem like they are 40 years old. Also, there is a tour guide station nearby. We enjoyed the site without a guide.

An important place interpret the strategic position of Jordan in the ancient time..

An important archaeologist site which is open for visitors. The gate is a Greco-Roman arch "2nd-century Hadrian’s Arch" considers as a great entrance to a great ancient city built here. Highly recommended when you visit this part of Levant countries Jordan. It is located north of the capital Amman. The ancient city contains the Oval Forum and Cardo Maximus, Colonnaded Street, and the North theater.

Beautiful stop in our Jordan trip. U'd recommend it as an initial stop in your journey, prior to heading south of the country (Petra & Wadi Rum)

Make sure you have some good shoes on, you will be doing a lot of walking. A hat is much needed! Bring two big water bottles on frozen and another that isn’t. You can stop by on those quick coffee marts on the way to this place, it’s much cheaper!

Jerash is amazing even without a tour. But a word of warning, be 100% certain you are on a main trail! There are Arabian wolves lurking in the shadows. Probably because of the sheep herding. If you encounter them DON'T RUN! Don't turn around! Walk back slowly, avoid eye contact and hope for the best. Even still this is one of the most astonishing places I've ever been , including Petra!

Come super early to avoid the crowds. It was interesting but too many beggars, sorry I mean people selling low quality stuff and people asking for tips after telling you to take a panoramic picture. They’re not even from Jordan, it’s a whole bunch of Syrian and Palestinian refugees that are there ruining everyone’s experience.

Jerash ruins and amman citadel close to amman jordan for tourist to visit

Loved visiting this location. History, history, history.

If you are in Jordan, this place is must visit.

A beautiful gate to visit. The gate has a huge arc which is well preserved and maintained. Not to many things to see at this structure itself but a lot more to come when passing it. You're able to take nice pictures from the back/opposite side of the gate. It has a much nicer viewing angle from there.

Excellent archaeological site.... they have refreshments areas within the site.... Good place for family excursions

wonderful place. many preserved buildings, roads, forums and stadiums from the Roman era

Ancient place, worth the visit.

The site is well preserved.

Loved it. Didn't go inside. Just took pictures outside as long walk and impossible to go with a baby.

Beautiful entrance to Jerash archeological site. Awesome, that even the romans have been there 2000 years ago and left their traces
