At one point we could hear the tune Scotland the Brave played
on bagpipes mingling with the ever-present call to prayer, a most bizarre
experience. Later we found the source - retired members of the British-trained
Royal Jordanian Army raising funds for their colleagues by performing
in the amphitheatre (see below).A replica hippodrome stages frequent chariot races, though there was
no show when we visited. In late July and early August the Jerash Festival
sees the site teeming with performers and visitors.
Facilities for the visitor include an excellent and friendly restaurant
with a fixed-price buffet, a bar, a visitors' centre and a mini-souq for
buying souvenirs.
