There are two theatres at Umm Qays. The first one (the west theatre) is rather well preserved. Rather small, built with dark volcanic stone.

It has the best of all the situations in Gadara (Umm Qays) with views to Lake Tiberias and the Golan Heights. There still remain many columns up of what used to be the Basilica.

A long and in some parts well preserved Cardo Maximo. You can still see the spaces where shops were placed, in the basements of the theatre.

Even longer that the Cardo Maximus, or at least what you can tell of what is preserved. It follows the line of the mountain, and the views of Golan Heights and Lake Tiberias are great. Many columns and rests of other monuments (such as Nimpheum) are still visible.

Lake Tiberias is Israeli territory. Is nice to have a view from up the mountains down to the Lake and to the israeli border.

Territories of dispute between Israel and Syria, the Golam Heights start just a few hundred metres in front of Umm Qays, right after the Yarmuk's valley. You can easily see the first of the mountains, and if the day is clear, you can see most of it.

Umm Qays has a small but very nice open air museum, with several sculptures found in the excavations, as well as some sepultures, tombs and headstones, placed in a typical otoman house.

All the area is full of ruins of different buildings of several times, as well as sepulchres and tombs. Some areas are not for public transit, because excavations are still going on, but you can walk along most of the interesting places.
