Al-Mutrab, Roman archaeological site in Ma'an, Jordan.

Al-Mutrab is a Roman fort in Ma'an Governorate, Jordan. The structure consists of a square stone enclosure built from limestone blocks at high elevation, featuring interior spaces that served both military and civilian purposes.

The fort was built as part of Rome's eastern frontier defense system. It was documented by Alfred von Domaszewski and Rudolf Ernst Brünnow in 1897 and later studied through archaeological investigations.

Local tradition links the site to the name Umm at-Trāb, and travellers have known it as Maʿan el-Mutrab and Al-Mutrāb. The Austrian Alfred von Domaszewski and the German-American Rudolf Ernst Brünnow measured its visible walls in 1897, and the Austrian-Hungarian Orientalist Alois Musil passed through in 1910, noting the aqueduct and ruined irrigation structures around El-Hammam and El-Mutrab.

The site sits on an elevated plateau in an open desert landscape with minimal natural shelter. Visitors should come prepared for exposure to sun and wind at the high elevation.

The site relied on an aqueduct system that brought water across great distances to this remote, elevated location. This engineering solution made permanent settlement and farming possible in an otherwise dry area.
