"Dubbed the "Pompeii of the East," Jerash is a Greco-Roman ruined city located 80 miles north of Amman. The impressive, beautifully preserved ruins of Jerash include places of worship and other buildings from the Hellenistic, Roman, Byzantine and early Muslim periods."

It is so massive and imprssive ~ ya look so tiny in comparison to the size. Again, thanks for sharing something I would never have the opportunity to see!! Judi
What a treat to see your Saturday. Wonderful pictures. Enjoy the rest of your weekend.
Thank you so much for the tour. There are so many places in the world that many of us will never see. It is wonderful to see them through anothers eyes.
Surely you have some sort of weather change there?
What an amazing place to visit. I can't believe how beautiful all the ancient buildings and ruins are. Must have been an amazing trip!! Thanks for sharing!

What a lucky gal to live close to such places! I love history, and would LOVE to travel to places where there are still remainings for the world's past. Someday, I know I will. In the meantime, I'm lucky to know and learn about them through friends, so thanks for sharing!!
How fortunate you are to be able to touch history - literally. I can't imagine how awed I would be to see such ancient ruins. Magnificent.
Havent seen these pictures yet. Must be larger than life when you are actually there. Its always fun going to other places and finding out the history of each city.
how beautiful! They are so huge! Its good you are able to enjoy these types of outings.
