	The Cardo Maximus

By MiguelMV on January 10, 2006

Umm Qays. Cardo Maximus
and Shops

by MiguelMV

A long and in some parts well preserved Cardo Maximo. You can still see the spaces where shops were placed, in the basements of the theatre.

	The Acropolis

Umm Qays. The Acropolis

by MiguelMV

All the area is full of ruins of different buildings of several times, as well as sepulchres and tombs. Some areas are not for public transit, because excavations are still going on, but you can walk along most of the interesting places.

	The Basilica

By MiguelMV on January 10, 2006

The basilica and the Lake
Tiberias

by MiguelMV

It has the best of all the situations in Gadara (Umm Qays) with views to Lake Tiberias and the Golan Heights. There still remain many columns up of what used to be the Basilica.

Lake Tiberias and Jordan
Valley

by MiguelMV

Lake Tiberias is Israeli territory. Is nice to have a view from up the mountains down to the Lake and to the israeli border.

The Basilica Terrace in Uum
Qais

by MalenaN

Looking to the north from the Western Theatre the black and white columns at the Basilica Terrace is a nice sight. The octagonal interior of the church has black columns and the atrium white columns. The church is from the Byzantine era and was built in the 6th century.

	Ottoman village

Street in the Ottoman Village

by MalenaN

On the acropolis of Gadara was an Ottoman stone village built during the 19th century. The houses were inhabited until 1986 when the villagers got money from the Ministry of Tourism for leaving their homes, as the site was going to be cleared and excavated. Well, the village is still standing there and there have been plans to turn it into a hotel, but so far nothing has happened. In one of the Ottoman houses there is now a museum with artefacts from the ancient site. Unfortunately it is closed on Tuesdays, which it was when I visited.

	Golan Heights

Golan Heights

by MiguelMV

Territories of dispute between Israel and Syria, the Golam Heights start just a few hundred metres in front of Umm Qays, right after the Yarmuk's valley. You can easily see the first of the mountains, and if the day is clear, you can see most of it.
