I always love visiting the old Roman town of Gerasa on our trips to Jordan, & no exception on our last visit, albeit in the heat of July! My one bug bear would be that, as a foreigner, I was pestered quite a bit by shop vendors for my custom. Understanding that times have been super tough during covid, I was more than willing to buy souvenirs from the stalls at the entrance - albeit on a limited budget - but still felt quite pressured which did spoil the atmosphere. My recommendation at this time would be to hire a guide in advance, or get a recommendation on arrival. There's so much of historical interest that's really worth knowing about. (Don't let a "guide" attach himself to you & then request a good sum of money for the very little knowledge he has - as I mistakenly did.)

After Petra and Wadi Rum, Jerash is another site that you don’t want to miss on your visit to Amman, Jordan. The site is quite Big and requires a couple of hours to cover. • • Information • (Entry: 8 JD) The Ruins of The Roman City of Jerash. At the extreme south of the site is the striking Hadrian’s Arch, also known as the Triumphal Arch, which was built in AD 129 in honour of the visit of Emperor Hadrian. •

An important archaeologist site which is open for visitors. The gate is a Greco-Roman arch "2nd-century Hadrian’s Arch" considers as a great entrance to a great ancient city built here. Highly recommended when you visit this part of Levant countries Jordan. It is located north of the capital Amman. The ancient city contains the Oval Forum and Cardo Maximus, Colonnaded Street, and the North theater.

قوس هارديان هو أحد أبرز المعالم الأثرية الرومانية المحفوظة في مدينة جرش. يُعد هذا القوس الضخم أحد أشهر المعالم السياحية في المدينة والأردن بشكل عام. تم بناء قوس هارديان في القرن الثاني الميلادي، وهو يحمل اسم الإمبراطور الروماني هادريان الذي أمر ببنائه. القوس مكون من ثلاثة أفرع رئيسية وتم تزيينه بالعديد من النقوش والزخارف الرائعة التي تعكس براعة الفنون المعمارية الرومانية. يتميز قوس هارديان بحجمه الكبير والشكل المعماري المذهل. إرتفاع القوس يصل إلى 21 مترًا وعرضه 27 مترًا، مما يجعله أحد أضخم الأقواس الرومانية المحفوظة في المنطقة. كما أنه محاط بالعديد من الأعمدة والنقوش المذهلة التي تزيد من جماله المعماري. إن وقوف الزوار أمام قوس هارديان الضخم يعطيهم إحساسًا بعظمة الحضارة الرومانية وإرثها الثقافي في المنطقة. كما يمكن للزوار التقاط الصور التذكارية أمام هذا المعلم الأثري الرائع. بالإضافة إلى قيمته الأثرية والجمالية، يعتبر قوس هارديان رمزًا لمدينة جرش وأحد أبرز معالمها السياحية. إنه وجهة لا يمكن تفويتها لأي زائر يريد التعرف على التراث الروماني في الأردن. بشكل عام، يعد قوس هارديان في جرش تجربة فريدة لكل من يزور المدينة. إنه نموذج مميز للهندسة المعمارية الرومانية والذي يعكس عظمة وروعة حضارة تلك الحقبة التاريخية.

Can see this using the Jordan pass. You walk through the entrance and get a little bit of hassle from people trying to sell you souvenirs etc but you can run the gauntlet and get past them easily enough. The arch is pretty big and spectacular to look at. You can see if from the road outside but to see it up close and walk under it is an experience.

An absolutely gorgeous step into history. It was hot but doable. The area is much larger than meets the eye and you can feel the Roman history in the area. There are so many pictures that should be taken here. This was one of my favorite stops in Jordan. The only con is the number of people trying to sell you things mostly towards the front.

Description
The Arch of Hadrian, most commonly known in Greek as Hadrian's Gate, is a monumental gateway resembling—in some respects—a Roman triumphal arch. It spanned an ancient road from the center of Athens, Greece, to the complex of structures on the eastern side of the city that included the Temple of Olympian Zeus.
