Qasr Al-qatraneh - At Tafilah

Beautifully restored Ottoman fortification by suleyman the magnificent built in 1531 n. chr. to protect the pilgrim route to mecca. there were mainly explanation signs. there are no toilets in front of site when they are locked, the local watch should be there to open them for them. good photos in and around the way. there are no railings on the stairs or on the upper level. pay special attention to children. 30 minutes stop on the way to south to petra or aqaba would do to see the continue and reservoir. you should be careful not to disturb anything and not to care for the place. therefore you should gather the müll and bring home.

Don't GO! Its close! It's on the right when you drive from Madaba to Aqaba on highway.

A nice Qal'at, one of 10 Ottoman Hajj Forts in Jordan. Easy to spot from the Desert Highway, just south of Qatranah village. At the moment the government is setting up a visitor centre and does some cleaning before it is reopened to the public.

Nice place, you can see the Ummayade designs in this Qaser

It is a good chance to know about our civilization
