    • The theatre was constructed in the 2nd century AD and was built in black basalt, a hard volcanic rock. Once the 24 rows could seat about 3000 visitors. The theatre is facing the west and maybe spectators were once sitting here seeing a play with the sunset as a beautiful background.

    There is also a second theatre in Uum Qais, the North Theatre. We were looking for it but it was hard to see as it is not fully excavated, but you can see traces in the slope.

    • Looking to the north from the Western Theatre the black and white columns at the Basilica Terrace is a nice sight. The octagonal interior of the church has black columns and the atrium white columns. The church is from the Byzantine era and was built in the 6th century.

    • On the acropolis of Gadara was an Ottoman stone village built during the 19th century. The houses were inhabited until 1986 when the villagers got money from the Ministry of Tourism for leaving their homes, as the site was going to be cleared and excavated. Well, the village is still standing there and there have been plans to turn it into a hotel, but so far nothing has happened. In one of the Ottoman houses there is now a museum with artefacts from the ancient site. Unfortunately it is closed on Tuesdays, which it was when I visited.
