Umm Qais

History Museums
Once part of the Decapolis--a group of ten city-states on the eastern edge of the Roman Empire--Umm Qais draws visitors with its ancient ruins and Biblical significance. The main attractions in Umm Qais consist of impressive remains from the Roman Gadara (the city's former name), an Ottoman village, and a museum displaying Christian mosaics and Hellenic statues. Christian pilgrims make the trip to Umm Qais to see the purported site where Jesus exorcised demons, driving them out of two men and into a herd of swine. Likewise, the site draws a contingent of Palestinians wanting to see their homeland--at a height of 378 m (1,240 ft), Umm Qais affords sweeping views over the disputed Golan Heights, as well as Jordan and Israel. With our custom trip planner, Jordan vacations can be built around trips to Umm Qais and other destinations in Jordan.
