Qasr Tuba is an unfinished Umayyad complex which was started in 743CE. The Qasr is in an isolated location beside a wadi in the Eastern Jordanian desert. Consisting of mostly mud bricks, a few structures survive. The largest, mostly intact buildings are in the northwest part of the complex. They have barrel-vaulted ceilings made of brick. Surrounding walls of the complex survive to some degree.
