    The archeological site of Jerash is absolutely worth the visit when you are in Jordan. Not as famous as Petra, but close as beautiful! Bring a hat, water and sunlotion as the shade is sparse at the site. Start with the arch of Hadrian and walk to the hippodrome. Continue to the plaza and visit the theaters, nymphaeum and collonade. It is amazing. If you have the chance to visit in July, try to visit the Jerash festival! Highly recommended.

    Kostet noch extra Eintritt. Wir konnten von der Mauer einiges beobachten. Pferderennen wie im alten Rom und römische Soldaten die marschieren.

    The smallest hippodrome on record in the Roman Empire and yet the best preserved/restored. The building was erected between 150-200 AD, and it was reused for different purposes after an earthquake made the hippodrome unstable for races at the second half of the fourth century. The damaged areas were then quarried and blocks were reused for the repairing of the city wall flanking the South Gate. The room across the Church of Marianos became the deacon's house which has nice mosaic floor (see review images). Other rooms became pottery kilns and tombs. The earthquake of 748 AD brought all secondary industrial activity in the Hippodrome to an absolute end. After a long hiatus, the Roman legionary drill and gladiators fight that performs at this premises, seems to have returned. Morning show starts at 11 or 11:30 am and costs 12 JOD. You can enter the Hippodrome from the main eastern gate, turn right and walk through the arena exiting by the northern entrance. After that, you have to turn right to rejoin the main thoroughfare to proceed to the visitor's center. There are toilets there.
