Umm Qais Museum in Kafr Mandā

Nice views, ok museum but not sure if its worth the drive to...

This site is kinda underrated, and unrightfully so. Its a beautiful testament to the roman legacy even in such peripheral areas. The site comprises a temple and the shops below it, a nymphaeum, an amphitheater, and the roman road that linked this place to the rest of the roman territory. It also has a beautiful panoramic point from which you can admire the beautiful landscape of the mount and the Sea of Galilee; you will then see the Palestine and Syrian territories (now occupiedand the Israel border with the Jordan valley. If you have very good eyes, you could also catch a glimpse of Nazaret.

Magical place.

Nice historical place gives you a good idea of the civilisation that days.

A very calm and nice museum that showcases multiple pieces from past empires; however, it isn’t very informative, there aren’t many writings that explain the history of these pieces.

A nice place to visit

An archaeological experience in an excellent location.

Perfect view, but a little bit it was hot in August...

Great to visit

What an amazing historical place. Our guid showed us an amazing burial spot with a door made out of stone that still opens and shuts

Interesting place to visit! Near the Tiberiade Lake... You can see the syrian side and the Israel side!

This museum is full of gorgeous Greek ruins. It is one of the best landmarks in Jordan.

Very wonderful place and magnificent panoramic veiwes. With good services, like the very helpful and welcoming employees, huge parking areas and very neat clean toilets. We spent a very wonderful day. I advice every body to go there to learn more about Jadara history.

I would like to thank Mr. Magdy Al Amarat for his useful and rich speech and explanations .

Its actually a nice museum with lots of artefacts on display. Its a bit off the path but totally worth visiting.

Very nice museum, with many fine examples of Roman and Byzantine articles. Overall, good descriptions, as well. Bathrooms were very clean and well maintained.

Very interesting indeed. Jordan is such a great country.

A very beautiful old city

Very good place, Nice and peace

Beautiful place, employees there are lovely and atmosphere is very beautiful, also it has a lot of ancient beautiful antiques.

I was in awe of all the history in this place. To see and envison some part of history and momentarily be in touch with it....amazing experience.

GoodHowever no signs in the place, like if you are in a maze

Too much crowded, not organizedNo services

Excellent museum as it shows bezanties architecture remains and ruins ....... i liked it, very small yet many things

No what ever kind of care for the place, just fee collection upon arrival, great view great weather, needs to be cleaned need less crowd of employees and clingy snoops

It was a amazing visit to this historical landmark.

Cool museuem and good views. Walk around the old ruins and see some history.

Very nice place overlooking Palestine Syria , Full of history, you need a tour guide to know the history, the road to get there is bad and difficult to reach

One of the most underrate attractions in Jordan. Some of the most unique and interesting Roman ruins youll ever see, combined with an unbeatable panoramic view of the Sea of Galilee/Lake Tiberias makes this site a must see if youre in the area.

🚕Union Taxi service is the best service, the yellow taxi service in Jordan. 00962798792750 tareq

Nice place to be visitedWorth to see if you can and have time when you visit Um Qais Jordan

Very informative and amazing view of the golan heights and the sea of galilee from the top of the museum roof.

Very nice museum, a great display for the archaeological artifacts, very respectful staff, very enjoyable, very clean, very good for children and families.When you saw the artifacts youll think about how did they had that level of talent especially sculptures, it is very detailed, and the mosaics are very beautiful.Very recommended visiting if you in Jordan or if you come to visit Jordan, dont miss this site it is worth it.

Very good Museum, you have to visit it if you ever visit Um Qais

Extremely nice view looking on Palestine

Not many things to see, but it gives good idea about the life in the last 50 years.

One of my favorite places in Jordan. Beautiful nature, ancient ruins. If you never visited this place you need to.

This is a place that takes on a wonderful journey through the past life of the area. It makes you want to go back in time and imagine how alive this place used to be.

It was a nice and interesting visit. It was our third visit to this place and tje yowns below it tjat do border Israel and Syria.The views of lake Tiberiad and the Golan heights were clear and interesting.We recommend visiting this place. It is worth the time.

I was surprised with the very heavy archaeological door, weights 1000kg and you can close and open it with your hands, dont forget to check the farmer statue and see the amazingly sclupting details.

Wow, what a place! Absolutely beautiful ruins and old buildings. There is a remarkably well preserved theatre here and loads of buildings and columns and views.

Always a beautiful place to visit

Very nice, quiet, calm place. It is renovated it great way. It is a garden with ancient history.

Umm Qais, location 110 km North of Amman (Capital of Jordanon a broad promontory 378 meters above sea level with a magnificent view over the Yarmouk River, the Golan Heights, and Lake TIBERIAS.This ancient town was known as GADARA, one of the most brilliant Ancient Greco-Roman cities of the Decapolis.....Higly recommended.

Nice piece of history, or what is left of it, since many houses have been build on the site using the stones from the old buildings.But different from the other places in Jordan, because of the stone used to build.

A very small museum - less than 15 minutes to see everything in it - displaying things recovered from the Umm Qais site. When we were there, many of the displays were empty and the whole place was disorderly. Just take a stroll through it while exiting the Umm Qais site.

Amazing parts and it had a story.

This little museum is devoted to artifacts recovered within Umm Qays. It is being refurbished at the time of writing. There are a few very good artifacts being exhibited here like the big marble seated statue of Tyche from the West Theatre and an Athens imported marble sarcophagus reused in the Octagonal Church as chancel screen.Refurbished galleries are still empty though. Hopefully they will fill them with exhibits on Gadara soon. As it is 10-15 minutes will be enough to see all that there is currently in display.

Great historical place for Roman civilization, black stones and buildings, view for taparya lake, cross point for Jordan, Palestine and Syria

A great panoramic view of Gollan hills
