Before starting your ride on the Jordan bike trail, don't miss visiting the ruins with ancient theater, street and colonnade, temples and the ancient village.

Hiking
Located in the southwest of Umm Qais, this is where the 650-kilometer Jordan Trail begins. The easiest way to get here is to fly into Amman, take a shuttle from the airport to Amman's northern bus station (Tabarbour) and then proceed with private taxis and minibuses that might not run on a schedule. Before you start your adventure to the south, take a short detour north to the ruins of Gadara, an ancient Hellenistic city.
