The Cardo Maximus is Jerash's grand colonnaded avenue — 800 metres of paving stones running from the Oval Plaza to the North Tetrapylon, lined by columns and pierced by manholes to the drainage below.
Look down and you'll see the chariot ruts worn into the stone by Roman traffic. Travellers who hire car & driver in Jordan reach Jerash in under an hour from Amman, and full package tours to Jordan include the Cardo on every visit.
