• Arch of Hadrian - Upon arrival, the tour starts at the magnificent Arch of Hadrian, a prominent landmark in Jerash. Built in 130 AD to honor the visit of Roman Emperor Hadrian, this monumental triumphal arch was designed to serve as the southern gateway to the city. Constructed from local sandstone, it features three grand arches, with the central arch towering above the roadway. The rich decorative carvings and architectural details make it one of the finest examples of Roman monumental architecture in Jordan.
• Hippodrome - Nearby is the expansive Roman Hippodrome, once the hub of public entertainment in Jerash. This impressive elliptical arena measures over 260 meters long and hosted horse races, chariot competitions, and civic gatherings. We will walk around the perimeter and climb the grandstands for a panoramic view of the surrounding monuments. Adjacent to the Hippodrome is the Church of Marianos, a Byzantine church from the 5th century AD, known for its beautifully preserved mosaic floors depicting biblical themes and geometric patterns.
• Temple of Zeus - As we continue into the heart of the archaeological park, we visit the monumental Temple of Zeus and the South Theatre. The temple, built in the 2nd century AD, sits on a hill overlooking the city and was part of a grand religious complex dedicated to the chief Roman deity. Below it stands the South Theatre, constructed between 90 and 92 AD, capable of seating around 3,500 spectators. The theatre’s remarkable acoustics can still be experienced today. Visitors often encounter local musicians demonstrating traditional instruments, bringing the ancient stage briefly back to life.
• Jerash Archaeological Museum - Situated within the archaeological site, the Jerash Archaeological Museum provides a fascinating overview of the region’s history. Established in 1928, the museum displays approximately 600 artifacts arranged chronologically, spanning from the Neolithic period to the Islamic era.
• Oval Plaza - One of the most striking areas in Jerash is the renowned Oval Plaza, a uniquely shaped public square measuring approximately 90 by 80 meters. It is surrounded by elegant Ionic columns dating to the 2nd century AD. From here begins the Cardo Maximus, the city’s main colonnaded street stretching nearly 800 meters. As we walk along this ancient Roman road, you can still see the grooves carved by chariot wheels in the original paving stones.
• The Cathedral - The Jerash Cathedral dates to the late 4th century and signifies the early Christian transformation of the city. Nearby stands the beautifully preserved Nymphaeum, a monumental Roman fountain built in the 2nd century AD. Originally adorned with marble, statues, and flowing water, this ornate structure served as both a public fountain and an impressive architectural centerpiece along the city’s main street.
• Temple of Artemis - A short walk away is the grand Temple of Artemis, dedicated to the patron goddess of ancient Jerash. Built in the 2nd century AD, the temple rises dramatically above the city on a high terrace. Several towering Corinthian columns still stand today, offering one of the most iconic views in the archaeological park. At this point, the guided portion of the tour concludes. Guests may choose to enjoy lunch at one of the nearby local restaurants before departing (optional, not included in the price).
