Description

Noted for being the oldest graveyard in Jordan and having all its tomb stones facing Jerusalem instead of Mecca(which is very odd).

There is not much left of this site, only a few structures including the worlds oldest minaret and the ground floor of a palace complex [link] the site is completely abandoned being used by druggies and wild animals although I remember reading somewhere that it was on the unesco world heritage site list.

Maybe it was used before the Quibla changed from Jerusalem to Mecca.
