Qasr Tuba

Qasr Tuba: the remote Umayyad palace, deepest in the eastern desert.

Qasr Tuba is the remotest of the desert palaces — a huge unfinished Umayyad enclosure of black basalt walls deep in the eastern steppe, reachable only by rough tracks and usually utterly alone.

A 4x4 and local knowledge are essential. Travellers who hire car & driver in Jordan can arrange the expedition, and full package tours to Jordan rarely include it.
