Located on a hill, it not only gives visitors a perspective of the city’s incredible history but also provides stunning views of the entire area.

There is much curiosity surrounding Qasr Kharana because although it looks like a castle, there is no evidence of it ever being able to defend its inhabitants. Unlike other defence castles, the towers are in fact solid and the arrow slits are too high to fire anything from. As a result of its unique construction, this landmark has drawn much attention to historians, and visitors travel here from across the globe every year to see this unique desert castle.

Qasr Amra Located beside Wadi Al-Butum, on the north side of Jordan’s Highway 40, roughly 85 K.M from Amman and 21 K.M southwest of Al-Azraq. is beautiful place to visit
