- Umm Qais - Enjoy the company of a private English-speaking driver who also serves as your guide at your Dead Sea hotel. Board a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle and embark on a full-day excursion to Umm Qais, known for the ruins of the ancient Roman Decapolis cities—a group of 10 cities located on the Roman Empire’s frontiers in the Middle East. Begin your journey by heading north through Jordan’s lush landscapes to the village of Umm Qais, which overlooks the ruins of another Roman Decapolis city called “Gadara.”
- Jordan Valley - The Jordan Valley is part of the larger Jordan Rift Valley. Unlike most river valleys, the term “Jordan Valley” often refers specifically to the lower course of the Jordan River, from where it exits the Sea of Galilee in the north to where it flows into the Dead Sea in the south.
- Sea of Galilee - Also known as Lake Tiberias, Kinneret, or Kinnereth, the Sea of Galilee is a freshwater lake in Israel. It holds the distinction of being the lowest freshwater lake on Earth and the second-lowest lake globally.
- Greco-Roman Baths - The “Greco-Roman world” is a term used by modern scholars and writers to describe regions and countries that were culturally and historically influenced by the language, culture, government, and religion of the ancient Greeks and Romans.
- Umm Qais - Enjoy the panoramic views over the Sea of Galilee and Golan Heights as you explore the Greco-Roman ruins, including the amphitheater, crumbled mausoleum, basilica terrace, and other theaters and treasures. Begin your visit by walking along “Docomanos” street, which leads to a theater that is unique among Roman theaters as it faces west instead of north. Continue to the basilica church to see its octagonal altar, which was once a temple. Proceed to the main street “Cardomaximo,” meaning the main street, which runs east to west, unlike typical Roman streets that run north to south. Visit the town’s museum to admire precious artifacts recovered from the site, including mosaics and marble statues. Take in the stunning views of the Sea of Galilee, Tiberias, and the Golan Heights. Your day concludes with a drop-off at your hotel.
