Qasr Al-Mushatta

Like so many other places in this country, it's not appreciated by the public. At least there were some old signs up explaining a bit about its history. Ummayad Palace which was never finished...Germany took parts of it away...some got restored on location

This well preserved palace which used to be an Umayyad winter palace depicts the beauty of the Islamic art. it is located in Al-Qastal area in Amman and was built during the reign of the Caliph Al-Walid 2. The most striking feature of this castle is found currently at the Pergamon museum in berlin. I recommend this place to be visited.

Archeological spot on your way to Queen Alia Airport. A significant architectural heritage from the Umayyad period showing a big time Islamic artisan.
A hidden gem in a context of factories and logistical streets. Worth visiting!

An important Ommayed palace, located near the airport.
There is a need for conservation work, and site management.

Beautiful ruins of a castle that is little visited today

Very beautiful historical place

Beautiful palace.
Worth some restoration work.
Forn now looks fenced, buuuuut considering that gates are opened (although locked with a chain/lock combination) just to permit pasage to people but not cars I assume it can be visited.

Al-Mashta is one of the Arab palaces built by the Umayyads in the Levant. The palace is located 32 km southeast of Amman. It was built by the Umayyad Caliph Al-Walid bin Yazid in the year 744 AD. The palace is surrounded by a square wall of 144 meters in length with 25 circular towers, except for the two entrance towers, which are in the form of a semi-octagonal. The palace is located in Jordan in the Giza district. In 1903 AD, the Ottoman Sultan Abdul Hamid gifted the decorations of the palace to the Emperor of Germany, Wilhelm II, and this is the reason for the presence of the decorations of the facade in Germany

Great archeological historical place. Reflections of part of the Islamic civilization during Umayyad and Abbasids Era. The problem is that the place must be cared and protected. Ministry of Tourism have to renovate the palace.

Near to the airport, Queen Alia International Airport, in an industrial area, you find this piece of art, an old castle, so beautiful and so unique, in the middle of nowhere, the place is not famouse, you'll not find anyone there, enjoy the unique nature of the place and leave with a million questions in your head

Download flightradar l, bring chairs, sit and watch airplanes and have a cup of tea.

An interesting example of Ummayad architecture.. I hope there will be more effort to preserve it..
