Jerash
0,00
This ancient city was conquered by General Pompey in 63 BC and became one of the 10 great Roman cities. As a result, Jerash reflects both Greco-Roman and Arabian influences in religion, languages and architecture, making it a city of great cultural diversity and eclectic beauty. To see the site's ancient history brought to life, visit the restored Jerash hippodrome (also known as the Circus Gerasa), where some 40 foolhardy "gladiators" re-enact ancient battle techniques and a seven-lap chariot race around the hippodrome JD 15/£14). For a slightly less blood-thirsty slice of culture, visit the annual Jerash Festival of Culture and Arts), a two-week festival covering the end of July and beginning of August. It showcases centuries of the cities' vibrant arts scene, in the form of ballet, poetry readings, folklore troupes and orchestral performances.
