As early as more than 3,000 years ago, Amman was the capital of a small kingdom called Raba Amon at that time. It can be seen that the people who lived here at that time were the people who believed in the Egyptian sun god Amon. It was conquered by the Macedonian Empire in ancient Greek times and renamed "Ferradelphia". Later, the Romans came here and ruled for 300 years. As Amman is located on the main road between the east and the west, it became a bustling commercial center at that time. After World War I, Amman became the capital of Jordan. Amman is divided into two parts, the old city and the new city. The old town preserves many relics of the Roman Empire, such as the Colosseum, the Roman Amphitheatre and the palace. The beast is round, and the entire ground is paved with stones, flat and solid. Near the Colosseum is the amphitheater. The entire theater is built with boulders, and the stands are stepped, which can accommodate five or six thousand spectators. Standing on the top of the theater, you can see many places of interest nearby. The theater has 3 floors of stands, and every seat can clearly see the performance on the stage. The ruins on the ground also include the market, the temple of Zuyus, the temple of Ertels, and the churches, ponds, and baths of the Eastern Roman Empire. Most of the new urban areas are villa-style buildings, including hotels, gymnasiums, cultural palaces, theaters, memorial halls, etc. These modern buildings with novel designs make this ancient city look young and vibrant.Show Less
- 4.24.7/552 Review"The history of Jerash is a long and detailed one that is best discovered whilst exploring the ruins and museums of the city itself. The city was conquered by General Pompey in 64 BC when it was named Gerasa. Gerasa grew in wealth and later became a colony in the third century. Due to an earthquake and a number of crusades leading up to the 12th Century, the city’s ancient sites were not discovered again until the end of the 19th century."Jerash783m from downtown JerashHighlights: If you haven't been to Italy, and if you want to know what the city of ancient Rome looked like, Jerash in Jordan can let you travel to ancient Rome.

No.1 of Water Fun Attractions in JordanHighlights: The Gulf of Aqaba has deep and flat waters, and the sea water is as crystal clear and deep as sapphire.

There are cute clownfish, Picasso tiger fish and parrotfish, and there are whale sharks that look fierce but actually feed on plankton, and a kind of An eel that lives elusively in seaweed.
