I took a 3 hour guided tour of Jerash which is located just north of Amman. It takes about 25 minutes by car to get there. I did not take a group tour but those options are available.

The city itself is much larger than you first imagine. The history is rich between the transfer of power from for example Greek to Roman, though the history extends before those influences.

The entrance fee was worth it and the guided tour cost me about 50 JD paid directly to the guide upon the end of the tour.

The guide was great! His name is Nader, educated in Canada and well spoken, knowledgeable and a pleasant person to be around. His phone number 00962797795656. Please check the time in Jordan before calling him.

Prepare to do a lot of walking, you can easily do 4-5 miles in the entire complex or just visit the hippodrome, the Roman center and the temple. It's up to you.

The weather in December was about 70F all day in the sun. Bring water and sunblock, sunglasses and hat.

You can also visit the ruins of a Templar castle 15 minutes away if you like that is situated on a big hill. More on that in a future video.
