Once a royal retreat of the Umayyad caliphs, this 8th-century desert castle in northern Jordan is known for its startlingly well-preserved fresco paintings. It’s an impressive feat of early Islamic art and architecture—enough to earn UNESCO World Heritage status. The palace is about an hour’s drive from Amman and Madaba and is often visited alongside Qasr Kharana and Qasr al Alzraq.
