City

Qasr Al-Qastal is one of the most important Umayyad desert palaces in Jordan. It is located about 10 kilometres south of Amman. The building of Al-Walid II consists of a heavenly court surrounded by the throne room and service rooms, decorated with mosaics and a carved frieze. Near the palace are two noteworthy sites, a small rectangular mosque, and a cemetery. Attached to the mosque is one of the oldest minarets in the world, known as the Minaret of Al Qastal. It should be noted that the tombs in the cemetery are notable for being oriented towards Jerusalem, rather than Mecca.
