campaigns against the Crusaders. Afterwards drive to Jerash
24 Km from Ajloun ! visit the splendidly preserved
Greco-Roman city of Jerash, the most complete remaining city
of the Decapolis. It is also known as the Pompeii of the
east. The history of Jerash is a blend of the Greco-Roman
world of the Mediterranean basin and the ancient traditions
of the Arab Orient. Indeed, the name of the city itself
reflects this interaction. The earliest Arab/Semitic
inhabitants, who lived in the area during the pre-classical
period of the first Millennium BC named their village
Garshu. The Romans later Hellenised the former Arabic name
of Garshu into Gerasa, and the Bible refers to "the region
of the Gerasenes" (Mark 5:1; Luke 8:26). At the end of the
19th century, the Arab and Circassian inhabitants of the
small rural settlement transformed the Roman Gerasa into
the Arabic Jerash. Returning to our hotel in Amman for
