Its paved and colonnaded streets, soaring hilltop temples, handsome theatres, spacious public squares and plazas, baths, fountains and city walls pierced by towers and gates remain in exceptional. In Jerash you will see Hadrian’s Arch, Oval Plaza, The Cathedral, The North & South Theatre, and The Nymphaeum.
