While the ruins of Petra are famous the world over, less well know is the Roman city of Jeresh.
Lying just to the north of Amman, this second century Roman city is a sprawling complex, of which 75% has been excavated. What is particularly appealing about Jeresh is that, despite being in ruins, the whole shape of the city is still intact. The gateways, streets, two theatres and numerous other moments are all there to see. You really do feel like you are walking in the footsteps of ordinary but ancient people.
