Jerash's archaeological wonders

Would you like to explore the superb archaeological site at Jerash? Here is some information about it.

Whether you're a history buff or just have a tourist's curiosity, you will no doubt be impressed by the feeling of power that the castle exudes; it's clear that this was once the stronghold of the 12th Century crusaders.
