Umm Qais, home to the ruins of ancient Rome’s Decapolis cities — a group of 10 situated on the frontiers of the Roman Empire in the Middle East. First, venture northward through Jordan’s green landscapes to the village of Umm Qais, overlooking the ruins of another Roman Decapolis city known as “Gadara”. Soak up the views from here over the Sea of Galilee and Golan Heights to explore the Greco-Roman ruins, including the amphitheatre, crumbled mausoleum, basilica terrace, as well as other theatres and treasures. Start the visit walking the "Docomanos" street that leads to the theatre which is different than other roman theatres, since this one is directed west instead of north.

Proceed to the basilica church to see its octagonal altar which was a temple. Continue to the high street "Cardomaximo" which means the high street. The direction of this street is from east to west, usually the roman streets are from north to south. Then, visit the town’s museum to admire some of the precious artefacts recovered from the site, including mosaics and marble statues.

Next, drive to Pella, the remains of a Hellenistic city, from earlier to later settlements. First mentioned as ‘Pihilum’ or ‘Pehel’ by the Egyptians in the 19th century B.C. Pella prospered when the Romans arrived, building temples, theatres, and baths. See the antiquities, some dating back more than 8,000 years. Journey back to Amman where your trip concludes with a hotel drop off.
