Description

Discover the hidden history of Jerash, the ancient "Pompeii of the East." Founded by Alexander the Great’s veterans and settled by the Seleucids, this Jordanian gem evolved from the Hellenistic settlement of Gerasa into a crown jewel of the Roman Decapolis. Witness the architectural transition from its Greek roots - potentially named after the Gerontes (the village elders) - to a massive Roman metropolis that survived the shifting influences of Jewish and Nabataean neighbors.
