Qasr al-Abd (Arabic: قصر العبد, lit. 'Castle of the servant') is a large Hellenistic palace from the first quarter of the second century BCE. Most scholars agree it was built by the Tobiads, a notable Jewish family of the Second Temple period, although the descriptions doesn't mention that. Its ruins stand in modern-day Jordan in the valley of Wadi Seer, close to the village of Iraq al-Amir, approximately 17 kilometers west of Amman.
