Jerash, Jordan

Day 56 19 October 2010 Tuesday





This city reached its peak in the 3rd century AD as a Roman colony. By the 5th century the Christians had built several churches. Following the Persian invasion of 614, the Muslim conquest in 636, and a devastating earthquake in 747 Jerash fell into decline.
Tourist leave more behind than just $12 at the gate.
