The
North
Theater
shouldn't
be
missed
if
you're
visiting
Jordan
and
especially
Jerash.
The
theater
could
seat
thousands
of
people,
and,
even
though
it's
partially
collapsed
now,
we
enjoyed
sitting
at
the
top
and
marveling
at
the
size
and
imagining
what
it
must
have
been
like
to
watch
performances
in
its
day.
The
theater
is
located
a
little
way
from
the
visitor
center,
so
be
prepared
to
do
some
walking
to
reach
it.
Comfortable
shoes
are
recommended,
but
it’s
worth
the
effort
it
for
the
panoramic
views
of
the
ancient
city
once
you
arrive.
Also,
since
there’s
not
much
shade,
make
sure
to
wear
sunscreen
and
possibly
bring
a
hat
and
liquid
to
stay
hydrated.
We
thought
it
was
very
cool
to
have
one
of
our
group
on
stage
–
speaking
in
a
reasonable
voice
and
see
how
well
we
could
hear
while
seated
in
various
parts
of
the
theater.
Its
incredible
acoustics
means
you
can
clearly
hear
voices,
all
without
electronic
amplification!
We
enjoyed
our
visit
to
Jerash
and
the
North
Theater
remains
an
engineering
marvel
and
the
must-see
highlight
of
our
trip.
Climbing
up
the
original
stone
seats
is
an
unforgettable
experience
that
makes
the
past
feel
present
in
Jordan.
