Depart from your hotel in Amman for a drive to Qasr Amra, a UNESCO World Heritage Site known for its well-preserved desert castle and stunning 8th-century frescoes.

1 hour 30 minutes • Admission Not Applicable

Qasr Al-Harranah

There is much curiosity surrounding Qasr Kharana because although it looks like a castle, there is no evidence of it ever being able to defend its inhabitants. Unlike other defense castles, the towers are in fact solid and the arrow slits are too high to fire anything from. As a result of its unique construction, this landmark has drawn much attention to historians, and visitors travel here from across the globe every year to see this unique desert castle.

This tour offers a unique glimpse into Jordan’s rich history beyond the typical tourist spots. The desert castles were surreal — like stepping into a different world. Big thanks to our driver, Samer, who made everything effortless. He even recommended a fantastic local spot for lunch. Jordan is both peaceful and full of wonder.
A wonderfully unique experience.

Everything was incredibly well organized from start to finish. Our driver, Ahmad, was punctual, professional, and full of great insights about the history and culture of each site. Mount Nebo had breathtaking views, Madaba’s mosaics were stunning, and floating in the Dead Sea was surreal. Felt completely safe the whole time — Jordan is a gem and this tour shows it off beautifully.
Such a great experience!

Incredible way to explore the history and culture of Jordan! The desert castles were a highlight – so unique and atmospheric. Our driver, Khaled, was fantastic: very knowledgeable, friendly, and drove with great care. The Amman city tour added a great urban contrast to the desert landscape. Everything was on time, well-managed, and secure. Definitely felt like we were in good hands the entire time.
