Umm Qais (Gadara)

أم قيس (جدارا)

Black basalt ruins above three countries

This place is outside Ajloun. We list it as a day trip and have verified fewer details.

The ruins of ancient Gadara sit on a ridge in the far north-west of Jordan, with views over the Sea of Galilee, the Yarmouk gorge and the Golan Heights. It is about 36 km north of Ajloun in a straight line, and a good second day.
