Qasr Al Kharraneh

by blanter - last update: Apr 22, 2005

Qasr Al Kharraneh is one of the five major "desert castles" - Umayyad buildings built in the desert east of Amman for various purposes. Qasr Al Kharraneh is well-preserved and was apparently used as a caravan sarai. It is located just at the road from Amman to Azraq (right from the road). You need a car or a taxi to get there.

 Kharanah is one of the castles I hope to visit when I go to Jordan next time. It looks great!
