Almost on the border with Syria lies Umm Qais, ancient Roman city also known as Gadara.
Walking the other way, passing what once was a nymphaeum, I ended up at the other former entrance gate. It was here that the North Theatre once stood - now you can only discern the form of the theatre - its stones have all been taken away and used in local houses. Opposite the theatre was a temple probably dedicated to Zeus, but there is very little left of it. Going back to the main street I then visited the old church which was constructed in the 4th century. It is here that both black and white columns stand together, and it is here that you can have a nice view over the Galilei lake and the Golan height.
