Beskrivelse
Se ud over Jordans mest berømte attraktioner for at se nogle mindre kendte historiske skatte på denne private daglige islamiske ørkenslotte fra Amman. Gå østpå på denne lange tur til Al-Azraq, et slot, som Lawrence of Arabia engang brugte som hovedkvarter, og udforsk derefter det freskomalerede mesterværk fra Amra og Al-Kharanah Slotte. Afslut ved Ajloun, en middelalderlig fæstning på en bakketop bygget til at forsvare sig mod korsfarerne. Din tur inkluderer privat fritidstransport med engelsktalende chauffør, hotel afhentning og aflevering samt adgangsgebyrer, hvis Jordan Pass-valg ikke er valgt.

Rejseplan
Efter afhentning fra dit centrale Amman med et privat køretøj med aircondition med din egen private engelsktalende chauffør, der også fungerer som din guide, kan du slappe af, når du rejser ud af byen og ind i ørkensletterne i det østlige Jordan. Kør med din venlige informative engelsktalende chauffør for at opleve de fascinerende ørkenslotte. Regionen er plettet med slotte fra 7. og 8. århundrede, mange inden for en 15-minutters kørsel fra hinanden, der oprindeligt blev bygget af kaliferne i Umayyad-dynastiet som landlige tilbagetrækninger og jagthytter. Hør fortællinger om dette magtfulde dynasti, de første muslimske herskere i det arabiske rige, inklusive fascinerende uddrag om deres ekstravagance og utroskab. Når du rejser, er du velkommen til at fortælle din chauffør, hvis der er et slot, du vil se mere af. Din tur er privat, så rejseplanen kan skræddersys, så den passer til dine interesser.
Efter cirka en time på vejen, træk op ved Quseir 'Amra, der er opført på UNESCOs verdensarvsliste, en af de østlige Jordans mest berømte slotte. En gang et umayyadernes jagtpalads er denne pragtfuldt restaurerede bygning prydet med fresker fra det 8. århundrede, der viser dekadente scener af nøgne kvinder, vin og fester.
Fortsæt til Qasr Al -Kharanah, en uforglemmelig fæstning på 2 niveauer, der står i en kæmpe slette. Dette stemningsfulde slot, der menes at være bygget på romerske fundamenter, udstråler intriger og viser et rigt udvalg af mesopotamiske, arabiske og græske arkitektoniske påvirkninger.
Til sidst skal du tage til Qasr Al-Azraq, oprindeligt et umayyad-jagtområde og en gang brugt som hovedkvarter af T.E. Lawrence, den britiske soldat fra det 20. århundrede og den arabiske oprørsleder, måske mere kendt som Lawrence of Arabia. Gå rundt i de solbrændte gårde, tårne og moske, og lær hvordan Lawrence baserede sine operationer her i løbet af 1917 til 1918.
Efter at have udforsket her, fortsæt til Ajloun-slottet fra det 12. århundrede, bygget i Saladins tid for at forsvare sig mod korsfarershære. Gå ind i denne semi-intakte fæstning på bakketoppen, og strejf gennem de vandrende korridorer og trapper. Se mordhullerne, der er brugt af indtrængerne, og beundre den fantastiske udsigt over de frodige bakker i Jordan-dalen fra tårnene. Derefter mødes igen med dit køretøj og slapper af på din lange tur tilbage til Amman, hvor din rejse slutter med et hotel frafald.

Today was a great experience. I had the pleasure of meeting and having Hasan as my driver and guide today, and with his driving but also his knowledge, understanding and communication made it a five star experience for me. All three castles were definitely worthwhile visiting, an easy trip from Amman, and the lunch recommended and organised by Hasan was absolutely delicious.

Mazen was excellent, punctual, patient, engaging and happy to share information about Jordanian culture, way of life and recent events throughout the day. It was a long day, but very enjoyable and I had as much time as I needed to see the sites and the landscape in between. Lunch and venue was excellent as well. Would highly recommend Mazen especially for female solo travellers as he was a gentleman.

My tour guide was Hasan. He was a good driver, very nice, very knowledgeable. He also did the tour guide at Qasr al-Harranah and Quseir Amra. He paid for tea, offored water and fruits. He gave advice on things I would see on a later tour. He also had Wi-Fi but I can't comment on that as I did not use it but it was offered. It was a very nice experience that was accentuated by Hasan's knowledge and personality.

Well organized. Driver picked up at hotel in time spotless. Good car, Driver talked very good English. Could guide a lot during trip. Quite compressed tour due to distance but very interesting. Everything was adoptable according to whishes. I can strongly recommend this company ZTT international and this tour!!
Thank you. Looking forward to having you, your family, and friends with us again
It was very easy to book, the driver Amer was so professional and also acted as a tour guide. Amer was on time, ready to go. He helped me understand the history of the castles, as well as the history of the country! He was polite and respectful the whole day! Amert took me to local restaurants and showed me the typical Jordanian hospitality! I would totally book another trip with him in the future, and in hindsight I should have done my whole travel with him!
Thank you. Looking forward to having you, your family, and friends with us again.
The tour though started behind schedule was good. The Qasr Harranah, Qasr Amra and Qasr Azraq though popular were not very impressive. Local guides behave arrogant with individual tourists and would stand in the midst of sites where others want to take pics. They deliberately stand with their group obstructing others from taking pics. The highlight was Qasr Al Ajloun. A very good site and the views from above are breathtaking. Not many tourists visit so there is no nuisance from local guides also. But the trip is worth the money and distance to be travelled. Go for it.
Thank you, looking forward to have you again with us soon.
<p>This is a long day. There are 4 sites you visit. The first was probably a tavern, the next was a hunting lodge with amazing paintings on the wall. Although called castles they were not. The third site was a fort partly used by Lawrence of Arabia. It is then a long drive over to Ajloun castle, but this is an amazing castle right on the top of a hill. It has excellent views and an interesting small museum inside. As with Jordan you can have a guide picked up locally at each site. There are plenty of notice boards so this is not essential. If you do not want a guide they are not pushy about it and you can go round at your pace. My driver was friendly and let you have as long as you wanted in each place. Water was provided and is needed. If you want lunch you can ask the driver to pick a place, but it is not compulsory and I saw more by not having lunch which I felt was better.</p>
<p>I loved this tour. There was just our guide and us which was fabulous.<br/> I loved everything about this day and the opportunity to travel east and then north west and the variety of castles we saw. <br/> A wonderful snapshot of Jordan!</p>
<p>So enjoyable and off the beaten path. Driver/ guide excellent!</p>
