RACE - The Roman Arm and Chariot Experience
|
| There was only 1 show at 11am during the Ramadan period
|
| The newly restored hippodrome, Circus Gerasa, with its original stone seating and carceres (starting gates) provides an ideal arena to re-live the experiences
|
| One of the gates and the seats... not too comfy I must say...
