In the land of the Gerasenes (part of the Decapolis in the 1st century)

As long as there have been humans, this place has been inhabited - Geras (Jerash). At the time of Jesus, it was mostly inhabited by Greeks and part of the Decapolis, beyond the Sea of Galilee... approximately 35km north of Amman (which was then called Philadelphia).

It even rains here sometimes and you can see flat but colorful rainbows.

The Greeks built their temples around 300 BC, the Romans then built a huge theater and an arena for chariot races next to it around 100 AD.

All of this together forms the best-preserved city from the Roman Empire (outside of Italy) and shows the lively activity that was already organized here at that time. And then, as now, Jehovah's name was made known here... www.jw.org... (search Gerasa)

On the way back, take a look at the green valley between Amman and the Syrian border, which is within reach, in the land of the Gerasenes in the area of the ancient Decapolis.
