Archaeological Museum of Umm Qais.

The place needs more attention, all there is nice but it could be improved.

Very neglected site, needs more efforts like installing scopes at the site of Taberia lake and renovating the guiding posters

History of UmQueiss, artifacts, tour leaders available, worth going to see the holy land from distance.

Very nice museum, with many fine items of Roman and Byzantine era. Good descriptions, as well. Outside the museum you find lots of historical sites in that area. Good facilities, clean and well maintained.

Small museum showcasing some of the finds from the area, many of extraordinary beauty. Also learnt that the basilica of Umm Qais features on the JOD10 note. Definitely worth a pop-in. I was also allowed up on the roof for the panorama. Oh, and there’s an amazing huge stone door that kind of opens and closes.

Umm Qais, has been named among the ‘Best Tourism Villages 2022’ by the World Tourism Organization (UNWTO), as a recognition of its commitment to innovation and sustainability. Umm Qais (Gadara), built using stunning black basalt stones, was one of the cities of the Decapolis, planned with a Roman city layout.

This site is kinda underrated, and unrightfully so. It's a beautiful testament to the roman legacy even in such peripheral areas. The site comprises a temple and the shops below it, a nymphaeum, an amphitheater, and the roman road that linked this place to the rest of the roman territory. It also has a beautiful panoramic point from which you can admire the beautiful landscape of the mount and the Sea of Galilee; you will then see the Palestine and Syrian territories (now occupied) and the Israel border with the Jordan valley. If you have very good eyes, you could also catch a glimpse of Nazaret.

Very nice museum, with many fine examples of Roman and Byzantine articles. Overall, good descriptions, as well. Bathrooms were very clean and well maintained.
