Jerash (Gerasa), nestled in a quiet valley among the mountains of Gilead, is the grandeur of imperial Rome being one of the largest and most well preserved Roman architecture in the world outside Italy.
The history of Gerasa is the blend of Greco-Roman world of Mediterranean basin and the ancient tradition of the Arab Orient.
Alexander the Great developed the town during the 4th Century BC.
This place will transport you 2000 years back in time.
(...more to come)
Note:
a) I intentionally published some photos with myself that is so very tiny in the backround as this is one of my very first travels during my skinny younger years, he!he!he!
b) Thanks to AtlasTours.Net for some of the photos and text.
