Jerash, Jordan has some of the best Roman ruins outside of Italy. The ancient city of Jerash is a vast Greco-Roman settlement with temples, Roman theatres, churches, a hippodrome and evidence of everyday life in the settlement with a market and oval plaza which would have been the centre of life as the religious and political centre. There are several gates into the city, and visitors walk through the impressive Arch of. Hadrian to enter the ruins. This site is the second-most popular tourist attraction in Jordan behind Petra. It is fascinating and really gives a feel for what life was like here centuries ago. #jerash #jordan #jordantravel #jordantourism #romanruins #ancientcity #ancient #worldcruise #jarash

It was really incredible to find myself there! I had no idea what to expect - we booked this trip last minute and I didn't have time to research - so I was so impressed. So glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching.

Wow! These Roman Ruins are so impressive and look incredible still for how ancient they are. What a dream to see. The Arch of Hadrian is HUGE! The above ground tombs are impressive and yet eerie at the same time. The oil press! How fascinating! The oval plaza itself is huge and so impressive to see all those columns still standing. Love the bag piper playing in the theatre, that is such a neat experience. Amazing to see what's still standing of the Temple of Zeus and how important this temple was. seeing the sacrifice place is quite chilling to think about. Amazing video and tour!! Thank you so much for sharing with us :)

These ruins were amazing. I really had no idea what to expect and was blown away! I was in a bit of shock at the bagpiper! ha ha. It was so 'together' that you felt like you could see how it was used in ancient times. Thank you so much for watching, so glad you enjoyed it!

This is an amazing historical site. The chariot marks and butcher's knife marks were fascinating to see. The columns were huge! A lot of those ruins are in great condition. And there is a bagpiper playing in the Roman ruins in Jordan? Its a small world and all that, I guess. Thanks for sharing this lovely tour with us!

I love the little things like the knife and chariot marks, it makes it feel so real. Oddly, he plays bagpipes most days! It was a bit surreal. I'm so glad you enjoyed Jerash, thanks for watching.
