Drive 1.5 hrs in the north to Umm Qais, the ancient Gadara, already mentioned in the Bible in connection with the miracle of the Gadarene swine (Mathew 8:28-34). Um Quais was located close to trade route Palestine-Syria, and became a member of the Decapolis under Roman rule. As cultural centre with a cosmopolitan atmosphere it was home to several classic poets and philosophers. Today you see Greco-Roman remains like the black basalt theatre, colonnaded street, a basilica and a Nymphaeum. Highlight is the panorama view over the Northern Jordan Valley, the Sea of Galilee, and the Golan Heights.
