The City Walls & Towers

The city walls of Jerash: 3.5 kilometres of wall, towers and layered rebuilds.

Jerash's walls ran roughly 3.5 kilometres around the city, punctuated by towers and rebuilt after the 749 earthquake — sections of curtain wall, watchtowers and postern gates still trace the hillside.

Walking them gives wide views over the ruins. Travellers who hire car & driver in Jordan can be dropped at quiet gate points, and full package tours to Jordan include wall sections on longer visits.
