Travel Guide Qasr Uweinid

Approximately fifteen kilometers southwest of Azraq, this site lost in the sands and roquaille is accessible only by 4 X 4 (a branch line along the Shaumari Reserve Road leads).The governors of the Roman province of Arabia raised this small fort so that they could control the area. Its geographical location allowed the legions to enjoy a view of the valley and thus to anticipate possible attacks. Its construction lasted less than a year, and its asymmetrical plane, with its entry into a corner, is quite special. In the fifth century, he was abandoned because of famine. If the ensemble is fairly ruined, there are still inscriptions left by the Romans.
