Irbid (Arabic: أربد), anciently known as Arabella, is Jordan's 2nd largest city located about 85 km north of Amman, situated at an equal distance from Pella and Umm Qais.
The city of Irbid is also notable as being close to the Battle of Yarmouk, a decisive battle across the banks of the Yarmouk River roughly 30 kilometres north of the city.
Irbid, nowadays, retains the bustle and charm of provincial Middle Eastern town that has not been disfigured by the consumerism and modernism that have made such a big impact on the large cities.
