Jordan Pictures

The first batch of photos are from Jerash, known in the Bible as Geresa. It was built by Greeks, then was taken over by the Romans. Later on, after the city became a part of the Byzantine Empire, it gave up paganism for Christianity, and many magnificent churches were built. Now, however, churches and temples alike are ruins. Next come photos from Amman, the capital of Jordan. Finally (the day we flew out) there are some pictures from our trek to Mount Nebo where Moses died. Enjoy.

(note: all photographs are displayed chronologically from top to bottom)
