Life Around the Ruins

Apparently oblivious to their history, the friendly people of Bosra live among the ruins surprised that, in less than five years, its people have been "filling" of tourists (about 40 a day?). The whole town is undertaking an ambitious state intervention to restore the ruins mobilizing find houses that are above them. The result? The new houses are built a few meters from the ancient city leading to a wonderful coexistence between past and present that I have not seen anywhere else in the world. Even the inhabitants of Bosra, the ancient city is NOT ruined, thank you very much. It's a place to play, let the sheep graze or just strolling couple.
