Alaa was a wonderful driver. Everything went smoothly and the car was very comfortable. He was very flexible and did the tour in reverse order for us.
We started in the Wetlands which were beautiful.after driving through the desert it was amazing to arrive at a place filled with water and vegetation. You walk along a well maintained boardwalk and trail through the wetlands and there is a large comfortable hide to sit and view birds. It is a peaceful place filled with bird song. The entrance fee was 6JD.
Next we visited three sites, which for some reason are called ‘The Castles’. The first Quasr Al Azraq was a large fort. Then we went to see the Frescos at the baths of Qusayr Amra, a World Heritage Site. The third Qasr Kharana (another World Heritage Site) was an enormous hunting lodge with stables, courtyard and 60 bedrooms. All three were on the Jordan pass.
Alaa took us into each venue to make sure we were comfortable and that there were no problems. He was waiting to greet us when we were done. We had plenty of time at each site. It could not have been easier.
