The only thing you need to do is let your mind roam and imagine what the citizens of this town did on a daily basis. Once yeilding grapes, olives, and other produce, Serjilla was once a pretty happening trade town. When trade routes shifted away, the town fell into a slump and its inhabitants abandoned it to pursue trade. Many of the large mosaics at Ma'art an-Nu'aman were once the floors of these ruins. Not much else is known about Serjilla and the other cities. Today it is completely uninhabitted and wild dogs are said to roam the plateau.

I found it really amazing that an arch could have survived such a long time and not have colapsed. And not just one either, I saw at least two arches still standing.

Just don't kick out the centre stone.

Many of the ruins at Serjilla are really spectacularily preserved, and certainly don't look as old as they actually are. It almost looks like you could just slap on a new roof and it would be good as new!

Is this water too clean to drink? Well, this is what some people in the rest of the world is drinking. So for the fortunate ones like us, we should appreciate and save the natural resources that we always take it for granted.
