Jerash

Overview
Experiences

A close second to Petra on the list of favourite destinations in Jordan, the ancient city of Jerash boasts an unbroken chain of human occupation dating back more than 6,500 years. Jerash lies on a plain surrounded by hilly wooded areas and fertile basins. Conquered by General Pompey in 63 BC, it came under Roman rule and was one of the ten great Roman cities, the Decapolis League.

Highlights of Egypt & Jordan

A trip to Egypt would not be complete without a cruise along the River Nile. Journey along the tranquil waters between Luxor and Aswan on board a cruise boat for three nights or longer with stops enroute at the many historical temples and monuments, passing local villages and taking a glimpse at the local life which has not changed too much over time.

Historical Jordan

Welcome to the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, a country dense with history and a well-travelled bridge between sea and desert, East and West. Above the layers of antiquity lies a land of mesmerising beauty and contrast. Here are splendid castles and hunting lodges, the wilderness of Wadi Rum, the Red Sea coral reefs and restful spas. Here too are the monuments from every age of humanity, crowned by the rose coloured city of Petra carved into the rock face, a UNESCO world heritage site and one of the new Seven Wonders of the World.

Highlights of Jordan

Amman, the capital of Jordan, is a fascinating city of contrasts - dating back to the Stone Age, with a unique blend of old and new. Petra is often described as the eighth wonder of the ancient world and is without doubt Jordan’s most valuable treasure and greatest tourist attraction. This vast, unique city was carved into the sheer rock face by the people who settled here more than 2,000 years ago. Jerash, the ancient city dating back more than 6,500 years and hidden for centuries in sand, is a close second to Petra on the list of favourite destinations in Jordan.
