Amman: The Modern Capital with Ancient Roots
The modern capital of Jordan, Amman is a vibrant, hilly city that blends ancient history with contemporary life. It’s known for its Roman ruins like the Citadel and Theatre, bustling downtown markets, and trendy cafes. Amman offers a taste of modern Jordanian culture.
Jerash – A Roman City Frozen in Time
Often called the “Pompeii of the Middle East,” Jerash is one of the world’s best-preserved Roman provincial cities. Located approximately 50 km north of Amman, this ancient city, known in Roman times as Gerasa, flourished as part of the Decapolis League—a federation of ten Roman cities. Its imposing ceremonial gates, colonnaded avenues, temples, and theaters offer visitors an unparalleled glimpse into the grandeur of the Roman Empire.
