The Jerash Hippodrome

The Jerash Hippodrome: the Roman circus where chariot races are reenacted today.

The Jerash Hippodrome, a vast oval arena beside Hadrian's Arch, once held 15,000 spectators for chariot races — and today hosts live reenactments with drivers in Roman dress thundering around the track.

Show times are posted seasonally. Travellers who hire car & driver in Jordan time visits around the races, and full package tours to Jordan include the show.
