Hammam al-Sarah is an Umayyad bathhouse (hammam) in Jordan, built in connection with the complex of Qasr al-Hallabat, which stands some 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) to the west. [1] Along with examples in the other desert castles of Jordan, it is one of the oldest surviving remains of a Muslim bathhouse.[2][3][4]
