Weather of Arabia - Jordan's desert palaces are a beautiful reflection of the beginning of the era of Islamic architecture and arts. These palaces are still fixed in place to tell their stories about that glorious era that enriched Jordan's history. With its mosaics, frescoes, stone and stucco carvings, and drawings, inspired by the most prominent Persian, Roman and Greek traditions, it tells us about the life that prevailed in the eighth century AD.

 

Why were desert palaces built in Jordan?

They are called palaces due to their majestic architecture. In fact, these desert buildings were used for several purposes. They were caravan stations, agricultural and trade centers, refuges, and military centers that helped rulers in distant regions to consolidate relations with the region's Bedouins. You can visit many of these buildings that are still preserved today, and most of them are located east and south of Amman, in one or two days.
