Kerak is a fortress town 75 miles (120km) from Amman, and contains one of the two major Crusader castles in the Kingdom. The castle, built to protect the approach to Jerusalem, stands on a craggy plateau 4,300ft above sea level. It was built in the early part of the 12th century and held for 50 years by the Crusaders until they were defeated by Salah al
Din (Saladin) in 1189. This majestic fortress, which has been partially restored, is a maze of small rooms and passageways and offers some interesting exploration for the visitor. The greater part of the town of Kerak lies within the walls of the old Crusader town. Kerak lies on the King's Highway, an international trade and transit route for the past five thousand years and one of the most historic and scenic routes in the world. The villages and landmarks along its way are historic sites, many of which are mentioned in the Bible. |

Jerash is reached by a short drive (29 miles, 47km) north of Amman and is an ancient Graeco-Roman city, once known as Gerasa. It has been dubbed the 'Pompeii of the East', because of its extraordinary state of preservation. Jerash is a vast city, which flourished in the centuries immediately preceding and following the Christian era.
At the approach to the city, the visitor is greeted by the imposing triple-arched gateway, built to honour the Emperor Hadrian when he arrived there in 129A.D. Jerash formed part of the Decapolis, a league of ten cities built by the Romans and dating from the first century B.C. Today, visitors may wander among the original temples, theatres, plazas, public baths and colonnaded streets complete with sculptures and fountains, all enclosed within the still-remaining city walls. The great oval forum, once the centre of social activity within the city, is impressively well-preserved and is approached by means of the Street of Columns. The city's 14 churches with their beautiful mosaic decoration all date from the Byzantine era. The annual Jerash Festival of Culture and Arts is held for two weeks every summer and is an important cultural event, featuring performing artists from all over the world. This event has international recognition and is a source of great pride to the culturally-minded people of Jordan. There is also a daily sound and light show in English French, German and Arabic. |
