Qusair ʿAmra (Arabic قصير عمرة, DMG Quṣair ʿAmra 'Small Palace of ʿAmra') is one of the desert castles and is a type of hunting lodge, around 70 kilometers east of Amman in the Jordanian desert, from the early eighth century, probably built by the Umayyad prince al-Walid ibn Yazid, the later Caliph al-Walid II. The word Qasr (Arabic القصر, DMG al-qaṣr), which these buildings often have in their names, means “castle, fortress”.
Qusair 'Amra has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1985.

Qusair 'Amra consists of a throne room and a Roman-style bath. The rooms are quite small for a palace and suggest only short stays. What is special about the Qusair 'Amra, however, is the rich wall painting, some of which is still there even after 1,300 years, but has suffered greatly in recent decades due to vandalism and improper treatment. However, when discovered by Alois Musil, an Austro-Hungarian orientalist, in 1898, copies of the wall paintings were made and thus preserved for posterity, albeit in a poor manner.
