Um Qais, Jordan

On February 21, we visited Um Qais, the ruins of an ancient Roman city.


The amphitheater
Byzantine Church
Um Qais is on the left, straight ahead is the Sea of Galilee and on the right hand side is Israel.
I unashamedly stole this picture idea from my husband. But it was a good idea: the girls walking on the Roman Road.
Savannah on a pillar
This is at the top of the stairs to an underground Mausoleum. I loved this... but sadly, there was a bolt on the door and we couldn't go inside.


I wish I knew more of the history of this city. The Wikipedia article was interesting if you are interested.
