Al-Maquar, Royal palace complex in Amman, Jordan.
Al-Maquar spans 40 hectares and contains multiple palaces, including Raghadan Palace, Basman Palace, and Al-Qasr as-Saghir, connected by landscaped gardens.
The location originated as a camp for Arab Revolt forces in 1918, before becoming the site of Jordan's first royal residence under King Abdullah I.
The palace complex incorporates architectural elements from Damascus, Nablus, and Jerusalem, featuring colored glass windows similar to Jerusalem's Al-Aqsa Mosque.
The Basman Palace section functions as the Royal Court offices, where official state business and diplomatic meetings take place throughout the year.
A 126-meter flagpole at the entrance of Al-Maquar holds the third position among the world's tallest free-standing flagpoles.
