Jerash is an ancient city located in northern Jordan, renowned as one of the most well-preserved Roman cities outside of Italy. The city is famous for its remarkable archaeological site, which showcases impressive ruins from the Greco-Roman period, including grand colonnaded streets, temples, theaters, and intricate mosaics.
