The Roman ruins of Jerash are about a 30 minute drive north from our home in Amman. Widely considered the most extensive and best preserved Roman city in the region, remains there include a huge arched entrance, a long colonnaded street, a colonnaded oval forum, two big temples, a hippodrome and two amphitheaters where concerts take place still today. It is Jordan's second most popular tourist attraction, after Petra. Like the Citadel, which we wrote about a couple of weeks ago, it's also a great place to run around, which we did recently.
