Approximately 85 kilometers east of Amman,
 Qusayr Amra
is noted for its extensive fresco paintings which cover
virtually all the interior surfaces. The paintings
include themes such as hunting, dancing, and musicians,
bathing scenes, cupids, and personifications of history,
philosophy and poetry. These unique paintings prompted
UNESCO to include Qusayr Amra in its World Heritage
list.
It
was built during the reign of the Caliph Walid I as a
luxurious bath house.
