Qasr Amra desert castle, Jordan. The original castle complex was built in 723-743 by Walid Ibn Yazid, the future Umayyad Caliph Walid II. It was a fortress with military garrison and residence of the Umayyad Caliphs. Today only the royal pleasure cabin remains, with reception hall and hammam or bath house, decorated with frescoes. The building is of limestone and basalt and has a triple-vaulted ceiling with smaller domed rooms. Qasr Amra is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
