Jerash Governorate, Administrative region in northern Jordan
Jerash Governorate is an administrative region in northwestern Jordan with agricultural lands and mountainous terrain. The area spans different elevations and contains several sub-districts that together form a densely settled zone.
The region emerged in 1994 through administrative reform when it separated from Irbid Governorate. This restructuring allowed for more focused management of the densely populated northern territory.
The region hosts several universities that shape its educational character and provide learning opportunities for young people. These institutions influence daily life and draw students from across the area.
The area benefits from Mediterranean climate with adequate rainfall supporting agricultural activities. The elevation differences influence weather and vegetation across different parts of the region.
The region consists of three distinct sub-districts, each with different characteristics. Despite its compact size, it ranks among the most densely populated areas in the country.
