Dusaq Palace is a little-known but historically significant site from the Ayyubid period in southern Jordan, located near the ancient caravan routes of the Hisma Desert. Believed to have been built during the 12th to early 13th century, this desert palace likely served as a fortified administrative or rest centre for Ayyubid rulers and travellers navigating the region between Petra and Aqaba.

The palace features stone-built structures, defensive towers, and courtyard layouts, showcasing the Islamic military and residential architecture of the time. Though partially in ruins, remnants of walls, arched doorways, and cisterns still stand, giving visitors a strong sense of the site’s original function and regional importance during the Ayyubid dynasty, which was known for its strategic control of trade and pilgrimage routes following the Crusader period.
