Tour Highlights

The trip begins with a 1-hour drive east of Amman to your first stop (Al-Hallabat/Kharana), where you will spend an hour exploring the impressive fortress architecture. Next, a short 30-minute drive takes you to the famous Qasr Amra, where you have 30 minutes to marvel at its stunning, beautifully preserved interior frescoes. Finally, a 40-minute drive brings you to Azraq Castle - a black basalt fort with rich historical significance - for 1 hour of exploration. We then begin the comfortable 2-hour drive back to Amman.
