What To Expect
Quseir Amra
Qusayr Amra was built in the 8th Century by the Umayyads as a fortress and place of residence. After construction was complete, it quickly became famous for being a pleasure palace with nightly parties. The castle also contained a Hamman and was adorned with non-religious wall paintings that reflected early Islamic life. The total period of this tour is between 7-8 hours, including transportation for a round trip.
Qasr Hraneh
Qasr Kharana, sometimes Qasr al-Harrana, Qasr al-Kharanah, or Haraneh, is one of the best-known desert castles located in present-day eastern Jordan, about 60 kilometers east of Amman and relatively close to the border with Saudi Arabia. The total period of this tour is between 7-8 hours, including transportation for a round trip.

5.00We reserved the Amman and Desert Castles tour. The driver was professional and arrived on time, and they informed us about the Amman area throughout the trip, and it wasverybeautiful. The desert castles are exquisitely preserved, and each has a fascinating history. The full-day trip included a lot of driving, as do all trips in Jordan, but nothing strenuous, and we had a great lunch at a local restaurant. In terms of information, the sites have visitor boards that provide important details if you don't mind doing your own research, and the locals were friendly and helpful.
