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

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.

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.
