Jordan – Qasr al-Kharrana – Ancient Caravanserai

A fabulous visit. Such a shame to see that fanatical Islamists have damaged the beautiful murals inside.

Inside the caravanserai were amazing frescos. Many of them had been defaced by Muslims who had thrown rocks at the images. It is not allowed to depict faces and people in Islam. They are considered idolatry.
