Jerash Ruins In Amman Jordan

The Jerash ruins of Jordan are said to be the best-preserved Roman ruins outside of Italy. . At just 48km (30mi) north of Amman, it's a great day trip from the capital. The modern city of Jerash sits alongside Gerasa of Antiquity, an ancient city housing some of the finest Greco-Roman architecture in the world.

Jerash lies short of 50 km from the Syrian border and makes a very good day trip from Amman, the capital, which is half an hour drive away.
