4 of 4 posts on my 7-day stay in Jordan
As my stay in Jordan neared the end, I looked forward to yet another important historical treasure – the ancient city of Jerash, considered to be one of the best preserved Greco-Roman provincial towns in the world. Dating back more than 6,500 years ago, Jerash was a thriving city due to its proximity to popular trading routes. The walled city was at its best around AD 130 during Emperor Hadrian’s rulership.
Welcome to Jerash:

Good-bye, Jerash:
On the way back to our hotel, we stopped by St. Georges Church in Madaba.
The amphitheater is amazing! Hope you enjoyed your trip (by the sound of it, it must be a resounding yes). 😀
