    Jordan's Umayyad desert castles are beautiful examples of early Islamic art and architecture and stand testament to a fascinating era in the country's rich history. Take a half-day tour and delve deep into the history of Jordan. The structures are called “castles” because of their imposing stature. The desert complexes once served various purposes as caravan stations, agriculture and trade centers, resort pavilions, and outposts that helped distant rulers forge ties with local Bedouins. Inside the castles, early Islamic art can be found. The fine mosaics, frescoes, stone and stucco carvings are inspired by the best in Persian and Graeco-Roman traditions and reveal to us countless stories of the life as it was during the 8th Century. Alongside the castles you will also visit the black basalt fort at Azraq, which had been in continuous use since late Roman times, and was the headquarters of Lawrence of Arabia during the Arab Revolt

A special shoutout to our awesome guide for the day, Faisal, who made sure that our trip to these wonderful desert castles was as wonderful as possible! The castles are definitely worth visiting and are a true gem in the desert! We also stopped for lunch in a local restaurant in Al Azraq which was truly scrumptious and exquisite and we managed to eat the local "maqluba". Thank you for the wonderful experience!

El lugar es excelente, muy recomendable para visitarlo. Poco concurrido de turistas. El conductor, Sami, es muy animado y cordial. En la opción especifica que esta disponible en distintos idiomas y no es así, unicamente se ofrece el vehículo con conductor, precio excesivo por ese servicio.

I took this tour on 3/23/2018, my driver as Jamal. He arrived early at my hotel, and I was the only passenger in the car. Jamal had a bottle of water, a nice gesture. He spoke English, provided opportunities for me to photograph animals along the way. The sites were not overrun by tourists, and the architecture offered a glimpse into bygone times. It is cost effective not to take the tour on weekends, price more than doubled in my case!! The cost of 3JD entrance feee is included in the tour price. The driver my not be aware of this!!!! No brochures were available at any of the 3 sites, and you explore on your own. I enjoyed the tour.
