The Arch Of Hadrian
The magnificent Arch in Jerash, is a part of the fantastic gateway that gave honor and homage to Emperor Hadrian on his visit to the city of Gerasa, in the year of 129. The city was latter re-named Jerash,
From The Bronze Age Comes The Impressive Ruins Of Jerash.
In ancient times, the city was called Gerasa, though it was renamed to Jerash latter. This is an ancient Greek and Roman city that was located near the mountains just to the north of Amman. This city is perhaps the best preserved ruins of this type outside of Italy.
The ancient city enjoyed great respect and wealth. The Gateway Arch was built a distance away from the walled city so that the city could be expanded and connected easily. This was a time of great prosperity for the city and nothing that was used in the building project was cheap or cut any corners. Only the best was deemed worthy for this building project.

steemit noobie question: how do you format the text like that? i'm trying to make a similiar reportage (take a look on my blog) but i can't get the headlines centered like this. would appreciate any help, thank you!
@naughtysketches You have to use center markdown like<cente*>words replace * with r
@exploretraveler - given its' rich cultural and historical significance, Jordan is a country that should be on one's travel destination and given that some of the other countries with such ancient history from that part of the world has crumbled politically (such as Iraq and Syria) and is no longer accessible, this is one of those few places that sombody who loves the experience of the ancient would shouldn't miss
@roji.abraham yes however those areas can be somewhat accessible to an experienced adventurer but Syia would need very special planning. Southern Iraq Ur visit is doable with connections. We have already been there.
Interesting. I once passed through Iraq and Jordan as a child refugee in the Gulf war of 1990 (my family lived in Kuwait then)- still have vague memories of both places. Good to know Iraq is still accessible, though I would stay away from Syria (as a tourist) given the very sensitive position the country is in now.. Thanks for the post.
