About About the place

The North Theatre in Jerash, Jordan, is the second theatre within the ancient city. Constructed around 165 AD, it served as a venue for political meetings and smaller gatherings, contrasting with the larger South Theatre. While smaller and less extensively preserved than its counterpart, the North Theatre remains remarkably intact and offers a compelling glimpse into Roman civic life. Its acoustics are particularly noteworthy, providing an exceptional auditory experience. Visitors often find it a worthwhile, though potentially skippable, site when time is limited.

Best for

The North Theatre is best suited for history enthusiasts, architecture buffs, and those interested in Roman culture. It's also a good choice for visitors who appreciate exceptional acoustics and a more intimate historical setting.

Best season

Spring (March-May) and autumn (September-November) offer the most pleasant weather for visiting.

Best time to visit

Weekdays are generally less crowded than weekends. Early morning or late afternoon are recommended to avoid the midday heat and crowds.

Kid friendly

The North Theatre is generally suitable for children, but requires close supervision due to the uneven terrain and potential hazards. Stroller access is limited. There are no dedicated changing rooms or kid-specific activities onsite.
