Culture
  • It was built in the early 8th century, this specially well-preserved desert castle was both a fortress with a garrison and a residence of the Umayyad caliphs.
  • The most exceptional features of this small delight palace are the reception hall and the hammam, both richly decorated with figurative murals that reflect the secular art of the time.
