Sights to See at Jerash
Today, Jerash is a large and fascinating archaeological site. Visitors enter Jerash through Hadrian’s Arch, built in honor of its namesake. Nearby is the Hippodrome, where chariot races and sporting events were held.
A little way down the track is the South Gate, part of the 4th-century AD city wall. To the left and on a prominent rise are columns and other ruins of the Temple of Zeus, dating from the 2nd century AD.
