Hammam as-Sarah

This is the site of an isolated Umayyad bath complex similar to the complex at ‘Amra in Jordan. The complex was in a good state of preservation until the 1950s, when its blocks were pilfered for nearby constructions. Today, only the core of the bath remains, partially restored by the Department of Antiquities of Jordan.

Al-Fedein

A sixth century Syrian manuscript describes al-Fedein as the southern most monophysite monastery in Syria, but the excavations have revealed much more. The Byzantine monastery is built within the cyclopean walls of an earlier Aramean fortress. Next to the fortress is a Umayyad palace with a bath and mosque. Further east is an Abbasid khan that served pilgrims on the Hajj to Mecca.

Come explore this interesting site hidden away in the middle of the modern city of Mafraq, Jordan.
