Pella, Jordan

Pella (known in Arabic as Tabaqat Fahl) is a village and the site of ancient ruins in northwestern Jordan. It is half an hour by car from Irbid, in the north of the country. Pella is located in the Jordan valley some 130 km north of Amman, and the site has been continuously occupied since Neolithic times. First mentioned in the 19th century BC in Egyptian inscriptions, its name was Hellenised to Pella, perhaps to honour Alexander the Great's birthplace.
