Qasr Mshatta is the grandest of the Umayyad desert palaces — a vast unfinished enclosure whose famous carved southern facade was carried off to Berlin's Pergamon Museum, leaving the tripartite gate standing alone in the steppe.
It sits beside Queen Alia airport. Travellers who hire car & driver in Jordan stop on arrival days, and full package tours to Jordan include it for architecture lovers.
