    A stop along the tourist trail. There are several mosaics on the floor and an ancient Roman road outside. The mosaics are nice to see if you enjoy this type of ancient ruin. There are several tourist shops around the area to buy souvenirs or to get something to eat or drink.
  • By Claudio Cantù
    Must see! Rich in explanations and layers of the different cultures that overlapped in the course of history. The mosaic map is a superb sight
  • By Saed Salaimeh
    Very interesting place.. Well preserved mosaic back to ancient times.. Entrance fees are cheap 0.25 JOD for Jordanians and 3 JOD for tourists. And the ticket allow you entering 4 locations with no extra fees. In my opinion it needs more graphical information and story board like to connect to that era.
