Umm Qais (Gadara of antiquity) is an archaeological site that is not only very beautiful but also very remarkable in terms of being a tourist attraction in the north of Jordan. It was once a member of the Decapolis, an ancient league of ten Roman cities; thus, it has a lot to offer in terms of history – the ruins of theaters, colonnaded streets, churches, and even Ottoman houses.
The beauty of Umm Qais lies in its location; it is perched on a mountain ridge from where one has 360-degree views of the Sea of Galilee, the Golan Heights, and the Jordan Valley. The quietness of the place and the magnificent scenery are the factors that make it an ideal spot for both history seekers and nature lovers.
The ancient site is open for visitors to explore the ruins, have a meal at the Umm Qais Rest House, and witness the sunset over three nations at once. The rich history plus the tranquil nature of the surroundings are what make Umm Qais one of the most interesting hidden gems of Jordan.
