Almost on the border with Syria lies Umm Qais, ancient Roman city also known as Gadara.
Further on, you walk along what once was the shopping street of Umm Qais, and you see the remains of a church above. As I walked on, I turned left on the main street. Here, I saw remains of a basilica built on a Roman mausoleum. It is thought that it was here that Jezus drew the devil out of two men, and that for this reason Umm Qais became a pilgrimage site. Furthermore, there are remains of the city gate, of other temples, and of a huge bath complex.
