Amazing structural designs. Never regret to pay additional trip for this visit. Such a great experience from the entrance. Good thing in this place is that they have a souvenir shops. So whenever you want to buy as token for yourself or remembrance, they have it all to offer.

The soaring stone columns of Jerash's Temple of Artemis are amazingly impressive. Expertly cut, the towering columns create a stunning forest of limestone. Their intricate details are amazingly well-preserved after thousands of years. The temple's imposing colonnaded entrance leads into a vast sanctuary with alcoves. No visit to these impressive ruins is complete without seeing these magnificent columns.

Very well preserved and beautiful. Definitely go inside and under the temple. I’m not sure if you need a guide for this or not. There are guides (well they might be guides but not official guides) who will take you in and under and will charge 5JD. Very cool to explore around it and will only take like 10 minutes. Neat to see how the columns were made to move to be earthquake resistant too.

Merely amazing. This temple was built as a shrine to Artemis, who was the patron goddess of Gerasa. It lies inside the large courtyard of the sanctuary. Construction of the temple began in the 2nd century AD, however it was never finished and only 12 columns out of a planned total of 32 were erected. The temple was used during later times as well, possibly as a church in the Byzantine era, by potters during Umayyad times and in the 12th century it may have been used as a fort by a group of Crusaders.

It was amazing to see the scale of the place and walk around these well preserved Roman ruins. I think the walk is well worth it even under the sun because it is quite incredible to see the complex architecture, the details on the columns and how wide the staircases are as well as the streets. You can even see the tracjs of the wheels where the carts would pass by on the street!
You do have to be careful though because now the street is very uneven so if you can't walk well I would not advise it at all. There is, however, another path that goes over the hill that is more even and much easier to walj through. My recommendation is to go through the street to the temple and then back through the dirt path when you leave.
The walk should be around 10-15min depending on how many pictures you want to take along the way so take that into account.

Very beautiful place, a must visit for everyone traveling to jordan. 1 hour drive from amman and you will need 1.5 hours to leisurely roam and see the ancient city. Washrooms are at the entrance, plenty gift shops too. You can avoid the steep stairs if you want to by going back towards entrance and taking the other route.

We had visited this during Dec. The Temple of Artemis is one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. It was a Greek temple and was dedicated to the goddess Artemis. The temple used to have 127 sculptured columns. The Temple of Artemis is the most eye-catching structure in the Roman city of Jerash. The view is really unparalleled.

Jerash is a city in Jordan, north of the capital Amman. Inhabited since the Bronze Age, it’s known for the ruins of the walled Greco-Roman settlement of Gerasa just outside the modern city. These include the 2nd-century Hadrian’s Arch, the Corinthian columns of the Temple of Artemis and the huge Forum’s oval colonnade. The Jerash Archaeological Museum displays artifacts excavated from the site.
It is the secon biggest whole
It is more beautiful and bigger than I saw in pictures. If the weather is good you can spend 4-5 hours or more eaisly.
It is considered one of the largest and most well preserved sites of Roman architecture in the world outside of Italy

Beautiful temple ruins at the far end of the Jerash site. It's the most popular spot in the area. The massively tall columns and their beautiful tops are intricately carved like acanthus leaves. Wonderful.

Amazing big roman temple. Well design with huge columns.
No stratues inside but only the building with wall and columns.
Not big as the temple of zues. But ruins are better then zues temple. Well maintain.

This visit is equal in beauty and fascination to the ancient Pompei.
It cannot be missed if you are travelling in the north of Jordan!

Stunning views of Roman ruins. Fascinating Roman history!

Due to its enormous size and richness of decorations, it was considered one of the seven wonders of the ancient world, but only minimal remains remain today.

This temple was definitely one of the highlights at the site for me. I was amazed by all the details you could see at the slopes.
