Mshatta

From your airplane window as you arrive at Queen Alia International Airport in Jordan, you may get a glimpse of the largest and best preserved Umayyad palace in Jordan. Mshatta was built by the caliph Walid II, but was never finished, probably due to the Abbasid rebellion and his assassination. Nevertheless, what was completed has survived well, and its main building presents the common form of palatial units in the Umayyad palaces. 

Take a "flight" to Jordan and tour this marvelous palace.
