If there is one destination that you must see in Jordan<\/strong>, no matter what, on any itinerary through this country, that is, without a doubt, Jerash<\/strong> (or Gerasa<\/strong>), an ancient city in the northwest of the country, considered one of the best-preserved Roman cities in the Near East.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was one of the ten cities located in the eastern confines of the Roman Empire (in the present-day Jordan, Israel and Syria) that formed the Decapolis, and, being close to Amman, it can be visited in one day and be back to the capital for the night.<\/p>\n\n\n

If you prefer, you can also stay overnight in Jerash itself, a good idea especially if you plan to continue travelling through northern Jordan towards Umm Qais, Pella or Ajlun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
