Leave Amman behind and transfer to
Pella where 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.
