The City Gates

Jerash's city gates: the South Gate, North Gate and the arch of Hadrian.

Jerash was ringed by gates — the four-arched South Gate of 130 AD, the North Gate on the road to Pella, and Hadrian's Arch standing free outside the walls, built for the emperor's visit.

Each marks a different phase of the city's growth. Travellers who hire car & driver in Jordan enter through the arch route, and full package tours to Jordan explain the gate sequence.
