SHARE

Located at the Qasr Al-Hallabat archaeological site’s Visitor Centre, the Qasr Al-Hallabat Museum offers visitors a fascinating glimpse into the rich history of Jordan’s desert castles and the civilisations that once thrived in the region. The museum showcases a diverse collection of artefacts, including:

🔹 Byzantine and Umayyad Mosaics – Intricately designed floor mosaics from Qasr Al-Hallabat and nearby sites.

🔹 Roman and Islamic Period Inscriptions – Engraved stones and texts that highlight the site’s transformation over time.

🔹 Pottery and Ceramics – Beautifully crafted vessels and fragments from the Roman, Byzantine, and Umayyad periods.

🔹 Architectural Elements – Carved stonework, capitals, and decorative features from the original Qasr Al-Hallabat structure.

🔹 Historical Weapons and Tools – Showcasing daily life and defense mechanisms in ancient times.

The museum provides valuable context to Qasr Al-Hallabat, a former Roman fortress that was later transformed into an Umayyad palace in the 8th century. Visitors can explore both the museum and the nearby castle ruins, making it a must-visit for history lovers and archaeology enthusiasts.
