Qasr Al Abd:

Located in the Iraq al-Amir area, west of Amman, Qasr al-Abd dates back to the Hellenistic period (2nd century BC). It is a rectangular building made of white limestone and decorated with a black frieze. The palace has two entrances, one to the north and one to the south.



The palace consists of a ground floor that was used as storage rooms and guard halls, while the first floor was designated for living and reception. It contains four rooms with vaulted ceilings. The upper floor has a central hall used for celebrations and four sleeping rooms. The palace was destroyed by an earthquake in 365 AD.



Tubya Caves:

These are a series of natural caves that were modified through excavation, trimming, and the construction of internal walls, dating back to the Hellenistic period.



The caves are arranged in two parallel rows on two levels: upper and lower. There are more than 15 caves, most of which are accessed by stairs. Inside the caves, there are passageways leading to rooms with small niches in the walls for placing lamps.



The caves served various purposes, with some being used as residential homes, dining halls, while others were used as storage for supplies and grains, and stables for horses.
