- Amman - Begin your day with a personal leisure vehicle pick-up and a private English-speaking driver who also serves as your guide. Explore several Islamic medieval desert castles located east of Amman, featuring numerous fortresses adorned with fresco art and zodiac domes, such as Qasr Amra from the Umayyad era, Qasr Al-Kharanah, a Roman and later Umayyad fortress completed in 710 A.D., and Qasr Al-Azraq, where T. E. Lawrence of Arabia had his headquarters.
- Qsar Al-Azraq - Start this tour by visiting Al-Azraq Castle, one of Jordan’s historical castles, built from black basalt in the center of Al-Azraq Oasis, just 100 km east of Amman.
- Quseir Amra - Proceed to visit the ancient Umayyad Amra Castle. This rare architectural gem is set in the heart of the desert and is most notable for the frescoes on its interior walls and the palace dome, which covers the hot water bath ceiling, resembling a piece of the sky with heavenly plotted towers that demonstrate great skill and narrate countless stories of life during the 8th century.
- Qasr Al-Harranah - The final stop is Al-Kharanah Castle, one of the best-preserved Umayyad monuments. This castle was constructed in a square shape for defensive purposes. It is also possible that some of these structures, like Quseir Amra and Al-Kharanah, served as resting places for high government officials traveling to Hejaz.
- Dead Sea Region - Continue to the Dead Sea and the Desert of Moab, the lowest point on earth at 400 meters below sea level. The Dead Sea is one of the most remarkable places in the world, known for the Biblical story of the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, which was turned into salt. The Dead Sea is unique; there are no living fish! It is undoubtedly one of Jordan’s most impressive and spectacular places to visit. Its calm, shining waters, glowing under the scorching sun, are renowned for their high concentration of salt and minerals, offering a therapeutic and unique swimming experience not to be missed! After exploring, relax on your ride back to Amman, where your experience concludes with a hotel drop-off.
