#### See a reenactment of an ancient Roman chariot race in the ruins of the very arena where the Romans themselves once went for entertainment.

Wander among the splendid ancient Roman ruins of Jerash’s main attraction, the Jerash Archaeological site, and the Hippodrome will certainly grab your attention. This vast structure, built for spectator sports, is among the largest and best-preserved on the site. It is impressive enough in itself, but plan your visit for the right time of year and you may also see an exciting reenactment of an ancient Roman chariot race here.

Stroll down the length of the huge Hippodrome and try to picture it as it would have looked when it was first built. Constructed under the reign of Emperor Hadrian, who ruled from A.D. 117 to 138, it has stood for close to 2,000 years. Imagine the space filled with cheering Romans watching a chariot race or an athletics competition.

Originally, the Hippodrome would have seated as many as 15,000 people. Visit today and you will still find some of the seating in place, but the capacity has been much reduced.

As you explore the full area of the Hippodrome, which has an area of 800 by 170 feet (244 by 52 meters), look for its interesting features. Note the 10 starting gates, fewer in number than the traditional 12. These have been carefully restored to an authentic appearance.

Check in advance if any events are happening at the Hippodrome during your time in Jerash. Travel back in time by booking tickets to view a reenactment of an ancient Roman chariot race here. The reenactments involve actors wearing the full uniform of a Roman soldier.

Spend a whole day at Jerash Archaeological Site and visit the many other relics of the Roman Empire that fill this site. Close by you will find Hadrian’s Arch and the Temple of Artemis.

Pay the admission fee for Jerash Archaeological Site and you will have access to all its attractions, including the Hippodrome and the other ancient ruins. You will also have access to the wonderful Jerash Archaeological Museum.

I stayed at the hotel 2 nights, before my 2 day tour and after the tour. The first night was on the 1st floor and the room was big but it was a little run down and the tub/shower was tiny. The 2nd night was on the 4th floor and it's obvious it had been remodeled and it was just as advertised. The breakfast was great. And, if you need to exchange your currency, do it next door. The fee is much less than at the airport. The only complaint I have was this faint, but audible, sound that I heard on both nights and I couldn't figure it out. For a short stay, I'd book the hotel again.
