The Colonnaded Street of Gadara is one of the main thoroughfares of the ancient Greco-Roman city,
running through the heart of the archaeological site in Umm Qais, Jordan.
Paved with large stone slabs and once lined with columns, this street connected important public
buildings, markets, and civic spaces. Today, visitors can clearly see the layout and scale of the road.
For travelers, walking along the Colonnaded Street provides a strong sense of daily life in ancient
Gadara while offering impressive views across the surrounding ruins.
