Qasr Amra is a historic desert castle located in the region of Al Azraq ash Shamālī. The castle dates back to the early 8th century and was built during the Umayyad period. It is considered to be one of the most important examples of early Islamic art and architecture.
The castle is made up of several buildings, including a central courtyard, a mosque, and a bathhouse. The walls of the buildings are adorned with intricate frescoes and murals that depict scenes from daily life, as well as religious and mythological figures.
The bathhouse is particularly noteworthy, as it features a series of frescoes that depict various scenes of relaxation and leisure. The frescoes include depictions of women bathing, musicians playing instruments, and even a scene of a man being served wine by a servant.
The castle is surrounded by a moat and is situated in the middle of a vast desert landscape. Despite its remote location, Qasr Amra was once an important stop along the trade routes that connected the Arabian Peninsula with the Mediterranean world.
Today, Qasr Amra is a popular tourist destination and is recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Visitors can explore the castle and its many intricate frescoes, as well as learn about the history and culture of the Umayyad period.
