From the Roman Amphitheater and Monastery (ruins) in Bosra, Syria

The photos don't give a great sense of the Amphitheater's size: It's incredibly massive and tourists can more or less wander around the complex's unmaintained passages as they wish. I got through the first three lines of Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody" on the stage before a gulfi family glared me off of it.

Bosra is best seen quickly, in two or three hours, so long as you leave before you get hungry. Everything more than a few centuries old is worthwhile, but nothing newer there is.
