Quick question: Would you rather explore ancient ruins WITH the crowds (like Rome or Pompeii) or WITHOUT them (like Jerash)? 👇
We spent 2 hours here and saw maybe 20 other people total. Compare that to the Roman Forum where you're shoulder-to-shoulder with tour groups.

WITHOUT people (like Jerash) , it's so calm and serene to watch this magnificent architectural marvel.
Good one ! 🎉😊. Your guide looked like a great guy 😊
It was one of the best parts of my stay in Jordan. An interesting part about the South Theatre was the acoustics that enabled people to hear whoever was speaking with ease. My guide crouched at one side of the bottom step and me at the other and he spoke in a quiet tone and I could hear it clearly.
