Jerash Governorate is the administrative district that encompasses the city of Jerash and its surrounding villages. While the region itself is largely rural, its main draw is the city of Jerash, which boasts some of the best-preserved Roman ruins in the Middle East. Visitors to the governorate can explore the ancient colonnaded streets, theaters, and temples, then experience local life in the bustling markets and cafes. The governorate offers a blend of history and everyday Jordanian culture.
