Qasr Tuba

Tuba found about 95 km south-east of Amman. Like Mushatta, built using a combination of limestone blocks and baked bricks. It's plan consists of an oblong enclosure measuring 140 m by 72 m, almost a double square, or 2 symmetrical enclosures joined through a long central corridor, the area walls buttressed by semi-round towers, except on the north side where the two gateways flanked by two square rooms.

The north-western quadrant is nearly intact and several lengths of curtain-wall exist on the western side. The rest of the building, which was never completed, is unpreserved
