2-Day Petra and Jerash

Over 2000 years ago, inheritance, left to us by Nabateans, now called Petra – was very prosperous. More, then 20,000 residents occupied it. One of the greatest water systems of their times, that was created by The Nabateans, was built to gather water from flush floods. Water was sold to caravans and merchants, passing through. Inspired by Roman architectural manner, Nabateans created great facades, temples and statues (numbering about 800). Now Petra is one of "The New Seven Wonders of The World". The highlights are : “The Treasury” and “Roman Theatre” (amphitheater with over 4000 seats). Jerash is a city, that is famous for its ruins.  The ruins were discovered by archaeologists in 1806, and are over 5000 years old.  The city was at one time buried by wars, earthquakes, and the weather.  There are two theaters, both North and South, a hippodrome, and an oval forum. Of course, there are many more to see.
