  • Definitely worth a look. The views of Amman are amazing. This site has so much history within the museum and the grounds. Even 2 hours is not even enough to see it all. Bring the kids and have fun. They can run and play on the rocks and take pictures.
  • Went here with a tour group, but could have easily spent more time wandering the historic ruins and going through their small museum. Jerash seemed to be a nice city as well.
  • Amazing place to visit when coming to Amman. You can really feel the history of the site. I would say the best time to come is about an hour and a half before sunset, the colours are fantastic and you get a great view of the city. Well worth visiting.
  • Remains of an ancient temple which is linked to Hercules. It is situated in AmmanCitadel. A glimpse of ancient roman architecture. From here you can also have panoramic view of old Amman city.
  • I was shocked how big this place was . My wife and I we are visiting Amman and we decided to visit some tour sites and this site was amazing. Please see the pics below to see what I am talking about... Also if you are interested to learn more on Jerash please watch on YouTube. 100% recommend to come and see the history in your eye and live the experience that cannt be discribe through words. The only this advice you Don't not fall to these ppl waiting at the gate and try to sell you everything and walk with you and later they will ask you for money . Learn more from YouTube and take a visit so you can see it yourself.
