A:At various times in its long history, Jericho had walls around it to protect the city from foreign invaders, and it might well have been possible to ride chariots around the top of the walls. However, the last wall before the Hebrew period collapsed during an earthquake in the sixteenth century BCE, after which the city was abandoned. As there was no wall at the time attributed to the biblical invasion, this would not have been possible.

No, it was not possible to ride chariots around the top of the walls at Jericho as the walls were not wide enough to accommodate chariots.
