Qasr al-Kharrana - The tour starts from your hotel in Amman, traveling in our comfortable vehicles to Qasr Al Harrana. Known as Al-Harrana Castle due to its location in the Al-Harrana Valley, this square fortress was built during the reign of Al-Walid ibn Abd al-Malik. The castle has undergone several restorations due to frequent invasions by various empires. Situated on the international road to Azraq, visitors are invited to explore the medieval fortress walls. Next, you will proceed to Quseir Amra.
-
Quseir Amra - The second stop is Quseir Amra, a UNESCO World Heritage site in Jordan, constructed during the reign of the Umayyad caliph Yazid bin Abd al-Malik, the sixth Umayyad caliph. Quseir Amra is believed to have been a hunting lodge. The castle’s carvings and fresco paintings offer a unique experience. After about an hour’s drive, you will reach the third part of this tour, Qsar Al-Azraq.
-
Qsar Al-Azraq - From Quseir Amra, continue for an hour in an air-conditioned vehicle to Qsar Al Azraq. The castle is nearly square, with 80-meter-long walls made of local black basalt surrounding a central courtyard. In the middle of the courtyard is a small mosque, possibly dating from the Ayyubid period, along with the main well. Each corner of the outer wall features an oblong tower.
The main entrance is a single massive hinged slab of basalt, leading to a vestibule where the remains of a board game are carved into the pavement. Above the entrance is the chamber used by Lawrence during his stay in Qasr al-Azraq.
The castle’s caretaker has a collection of photographs of Lawrence; his father was one of the Arab officers who served with the legendary Brit. After completing this tour, it will take around 2 hours to return to your hotel in Amman with the driver.
