Desert Castle Private Tour

Qasr al-Azraq is a large fortress in present-day eastern Jordan. It is one of the desert castles, on the outskirts of present-day Azraq, roughly 100 km east of Amman. Its strategic value came from the nearby oasis, the only water source in a vast desert region.

Continue to “Qasr Al -Kharanah”, an imperious 2-level fortress standing on a huge plain. Thought to have been built on Roman foundations, this evocative castle exudes intrigue and displays a rich array of Mesopotamian, Arabic, and Greek architectural influences.

Quseir’ Amra, one of east Jordan’s most famous castles. Once a hunting palace of the Umayyad, this splendidly restored edifice is graced with 8th-century fresco showing decadent scenes of nude women, wine, and parties.
