    Unique runis of mosque. One of ten in the world with the arch which is pointing Jerusalem, not Mekka as a direction for the prayers, old enough, built before this has become a tradition. Koran didn't describe how the mosque is supposed to look like, due to that this one is much different than we the others use to know. Not so much left, but still, ruins help to imagine how it looked like.

    The Umayyad Mosque is an ancient mosque dating back to the Umayyad era. It is located in the center of the Jordanian capital, Amman, specifically within the walls of the city's castle, which also contains many Umayyad monuments and other civilizations that came to the city thousands of years ago. It was built in the eighth century AD, in an area adjacent to the Umayyad Palace, where some of the facades and columns of the mosque are still visible. As for these days, only a few columns and facades remain of this huge and luxurious building. The Jordanian Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities restored the building in the early nineties of the last century to be in the current form.

    Nothing much standing remains of this 8th century mosque except a few recently restored carvings (which too are small). But it's a high place on the citadel and the views of the city are very nice.

    The inside of the mosque is amazing, especially the contrast of the stone and the wooden roof when you stand underneath and look up! Great details! The only thing I found disrespectful was that the security was smoking inside!!!!!

    I wish they had some kind of VR experience to get to grips on how these buildings really looked intheir heyday ... This one must've been magnificent ... The ruins we see don't really do it justice ....

    At first we have mistaken the place for an old castle since the mosque didn't really look like one. It gets very dark inside and the lights are turned on after 5pm. There could be some water on the floor so beware your feet unless you want to change them after visiting this old mosque.
