About About the place

The Forum at Jerash is a remarkable archaeological site, serving as the heart of the ancient Roman city. Its distinctive oval shape is a result of the city’s layout, accommodating the road leading to the Temple of Zeus. The Forum is characterized by its well-preserved columns and spacious plaza, providing a glimpse into the grandeur of Roman urban planning. It connects key areas of Jerash, including the Cardo Maximus and the amphitheater. Visitors often appreciate the site's historical significance and the opportunity to experience a well-maintained piece of Roman history.

Tips by Locals

The Forum consists of uneven stone surfaces and limited paved pathways, presenting challenges for those with mobility issues. While some areas are relatively accessible, navigating the entire site may be difficult for wheelchair users or individuals with walking impairments.

Kid friendly

The open space of the Forum allows children to move around, but supervision is essential due to uneven ground and potential hazards. There are no dedicated children's activities or facilities onsite.

Pet friendly

Pets are not allowed within the archaeological park.

Food facilities/restaurants/cafes

There are no food facilities directly within the Forum itself. However, cafes and restaurants are available near the entrance to the Jerash archaeological park.
