While visiting the city of Irbid in the North of Jordan, it wouldn’t be reasonable to miss a trip to the archeological site of Pella. The site is set in a fold of hills that overlook the Jordan Valley, one short drive from the town of Tabaqat Fahl, and an hour and a half drive from Amman. The former ancient city of Pella hosts a collection of ruins that date back over 6000 years and is regarded as one of the most important historical landmarks in the country where visitors can experience fascinating glimpses of many of Jordan's key historical periods.
