Desert Castles Half-Day Tour

General information

Destination
Amman, Jordan

Program details

Start the day traveling to the Eastern Desert to visit Al Kharraneh Castle, Amra Castle (a UNESCO World Heritage Site), and Al Azraq Castle, where Lawrence of Arabia resided and wrote part of his book “Seven Pillars of Wisdom”.



The Quseir Amra, built in the early 8th century, is an exceptionally well-preserved desert castle that was both a fortress with a garrison and a residence of the Umayyad caliphs. The most outstanding features of this small pleasure palace are the reception hall and the hammam, both richly decorated with figurative murals that reflect the secular art of the time.



Upon completion, transfer back to Amman.
