Um Qais and Pella - Full-Day Tour - Amman

Leave Amman behind and transfer to Pellawhere you can see the remains of a Chalcolthic settlement from the 4th millennium BC, Byzantine churches and houses, and a small medieval mosque.

Proceed to Um Qais, previously known as Gadara, the site of the famous miracle of the Gadarene swine. Gadara was renowned in its time as a cultural center.

It was the home of several classical poets and philosophers, including Theodorus, founder of a rhetorical school in Rome, and was once called “a new Athens” by a poet. Perched on a splendid hilltop overlooking the Jordan Valley and the Sea of Galilee, Gadara is known today as Umm Qais, and boasts an impressive colonnaded street, a vaulted terrace, and the ruins of two theaters.

You can take in the sights and then dine (not inclued) on the terrace of a fine restaurant with a breathtaking view.

Upon completion, transfer back to Amman.
