Jerash was founded around c. 175-164 BCE under the rule of Antiochus IV Epiphanes of the Seleucid Empire. Being blessed with resources and standing in different trade routes, Jerash grew rapidly, and many structures were built there. It later became a member of the Federation of Greek cities named the Decapolis, meaning “ten cities.” Byzantine and Muslim rulers reigned over Jerash during ages and built their own specific kind of structures during the time. The city is still alive and expanding. You can visit modern parts of the city on the east side of the ruins. Appreciatively, the ruins were not encroached by new buildings.

Wadi Rum is all you can expect from a fantastic desert! Here, the sun is violent and moody, slicing through canyons in the early morning or melting the division between rock and sand at sunset. The heat in summer is extreme, and the cold in winter is intense. For the lucky travelers who can afford a day or two to sleep over at one of the desert camps, it can be a memorable and unforgettable experience.
In Jordan’s desolate desert canyons, an ancient gem is located, the Ancient City of Petra. Petra is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the New Seven Wonders of the World. The city flourished over 2,000 years ago when it used to trade with Rome as an equal before earthquakes in the 4th and 6th centuries C.E., which ruined the city. This archeological city is an enormous combination of tombs, monuments, and other religious structures carved into sandstone cliffs. Petra also used to be the capital of the Nabataean kingdom, but in the first century A.D., it yielded to the rising power of Rome.
The most iconic part of Varanasi is the Ghats, where most rituals and prayers occur. What many travelers ignore is that there are many more historical sites to visit while in town. There are temples, mosques, palaces, ancient monuments, and the old areas of town with narrow streets and alleyways.
