A long way from Amman and involves some off-road driving, but it's a real winner. I enjoyed discovering this castle, and it's now in my top 10 places in Jordan!

Amazing place for camping. We went there in November, was a bit chilly at night and early at dawn. Very recommended for desert lovers

قصر برقع و سد برقع بناه الأمويون على الطريق بين البصرة و دمشق و حسب ما رأيت بالموقع ومن عناصر القصر .. يوجد مكان للقيادة و مكان آخر للسكن و آخر يستخدم كإسطبلات للخيل و في زاوية باحة القصر يوجد غرفة ضيقة جدا أتوقع أنها تستخدم كزنزانة .. بإختصار هذا الموقع يعتبر مركز حامية عسكرية .. وكما ترون هناك ترقيم للحجارة المنهارة اتوقع أنهم بدأوا في مشروع ترميم القصر وقد أسعدني ذلك

Fascinating remains of a Romano-Byzantine-military and monastic complex made of square and circular towers with latter Umayyad renovations consisting of several rooms around a courtyard. All made of black volcanic basalt. The adjacent lake to its west ads exponentially to its air of exploration and mystique.

In our visit there there was a 'wow!' moment upon first glance. The water, the strikingly green grass around it was all enveloped in blank rock desert.
