Excursão a Desert Castles & Azraq Wetland Reserve
Descrição
Acesso e Logística: Os castelos estão espalhados por estradas isoladas do deserto. Um passeio fornece transporte privado sem problemas, com ar condicionado a partir de Amã, lidando com a condução e navegação desafiadoras entre sites como o Qusayr 'Amra listado pela UNESCO, o imponente Qasr al-Kharana e o basalto preto Qasr al-Azraq. Insight Especialista: As várias funções dos castelos - como casas de caça, caravanserais e casas de banho - muitas vezes não são claras sem contexto. Um motorista ou Guia experiente traz a história à vida, explicando os raros frescos do século 8 em Qasr 'Amra e o papel estratégico de T.E. Lawrence em Qasr al-Azraq. Eficiência: Um passeio permite que você complete de forma eficiente todo o "Desert Castles Loop", muitas vezes incluindo uma paragem opcional na Reserva Azraq Wetland, tudo dentro de um único dia de viagem sem estresse da capital.

Sua próxima parada é Qasr Al-Harranah, uma estrutura de dois andares imponente e bem preservada. Muitas vezes considerado o quintessential "castelo do deserto" devido ao seu exterior como uma fortaleza, seu propósito real continua sendo um assunto de debate. No entanto, provavelmente era um caravanserai ou uma sala de reuniões rural. Dentro, sua fachada austera dá lugar a um interior adornado com padrões geométricos.
Sua última parada é Qasr al-Azraq, uma fortaleza construída principalmente de pedra de basalto preto local. Originalmente um forte romano, mais tarde foi reconstruído pelos mamelucos. Seu significado histórico moderno deriva de servir como T.E. A sede de Lawrence (Lawrence da Arábia) durante a Revolta Árabe (1917-1918). O forte está localizado perto da Reserva Azraq Wetland, gerido pela Royal Society for the Conservation of Nature (RSCN). Esta reserva é um habitat vital na via de aves migratórias africano-eurasiana, sustentando centenas de espécies, incluindo o raro endêmico Azraq Killifish. O nome "Azraq", que significa "azul", refere-se ao vasto corpo de água que já existia nesta área.
Enquanto o seu veículo confortável e climatizado volta em direção a Amã, leve um momento para refletir sobre a notável jornada que concluímos através do deserto oriental. Desde a elegância única e os frescos controversos de Qusayr 'Amra - uma verdadeira obra-prima da arte islâmica primitiva - até a arquitetura imponente e maciça de Qasr Al-Harranah, e finalmente, a histórica fortaleza de basalto preto de Qasr al-Azraq, que servia como a sede de inverno de Lawrence da Arábia. Você não viu apenas pedras antigas; você testemunhou o lazer, o poder e a arte dos califas umayyad. Confiamos que você tenha este olhar único sobre o passado da Jordânia, e esperamos recebê-lo em sua próxima aventura. Viagens seguras de volta a Amã!
A Reserva Azraq Wetland é um oásis de deserto único localizado no coração do deserto oriental da Jordânia. Gerenciado pela Royal Society for the Conservation of Nature (RSCN), este local é um habitat crítico na rota de aves migratórias africano-eurasiana, hospedando centenas de espécies, bem como o raro killifish endémico Azraq. O nome Azraq significa "azul", referindo-se ao vasto corpo de água que historicamente existiu aqui. Anteriormente uma extensiva terra húmida natural, o oásis sofreu um colapso ecológico devido ao severo esgotamento de água. Hoje, a reserva é sustentada através de um esforço intensivo de restauração, graças à água bombeada. Os visitantes podem explorar a área através do caminho de caminhada de 1,5 km, utilizar peles de pássaros e visitar o histórico Castelo de Azraq nas proximidades. É um poderoso símbolo de conservação em um ambiente árido.

Visiting three castles/forts in the middle of the desert gives visitors a sense of the geographical challenges those who came before us encountered, especially when you figure out you are very close to the borders of Iraq and Saudi Arabia. A deep appreciation for the building and paintings of these structures is understood. A little more information inside each building would have been appreciated. As for the wetlands reserve, no animals could be seen. One or two birds flew overhead, but that was all. It would have been nice to know the best season for visiting this preserve, supposedly it is springtime. There was good information inside this center before visitors made their way outside to look for the animals and birds identified .
Thank you for sharing your detailed feedback on the Desert Castles & Azraq Wetland Reserve tour. We are so glad to hear that visiting the three castles gave you a deep appreciation for the geographical challenges of the past, and we agree that these historical structures and their paintings are truly remarkable. We take your comment about the need for more information inside each building seriously and will review our itinerary and coordination with site guides to see how we can enhance the historical context provided during the tour. Regarding the Azraq Wetland Reserve, we understand your disappointment about not seeing much wildlife. You are absolutely right that springtime (March to May) is indeed the best season for birdwatching and seeing the area at its most vibrant. We will ensure this key seasonal information is highlighted more clearly to guests both at the time of booking and by the driver/guide on the day of the tour. We appreciate you choosing us and hope you found the experience overall valuable!
Anas was a wonderful guide. His English was excellent and he was very accommodating. The castles were interesting and manageable, and the Azraq Wetland Reserve was the perfect site for my birdwatching husband.

The information regarding this tour is misleading. It is not a tour, but rather it consists of a driver who transports you to the sites. He did not provide us w knowledge of the region or the sites. You would be better off simply hiring a driver that can be arranged by your hotel and is less costly.
Thank you for taking the time to leave this review. Your feedback helps us to improve our services.
Driver was nice and on time. However, he had never been to either the desert castles or the wetland reserve. In fact, he got lost and we were making circles in back streets in some small town off the highway. He had no water do he had to stop to buy some. And he offered no additional information on where we were going.
Our Guide Adnan Hamdan was very knowledgeable, he pointed all the best parts to see, gave insight of the places he brought us to see, we we're a group of 7. All enjoyed our day

Amazing day tour! My driver Younes was the very best! Prompt pick up, offered me delicious Turkish coffee, gave interesting facts about the history and local life in Jordan, explained the day’s schedule well, played Arabic music and took photos for me! The Desert Castles were a sight to see! The Wetland Reserve had nice trails that anybody can enjoy! It was great experiencing so much in a day. I really had the best time in Jordan with Younes and this company. Thank you!

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.
Thanks for your support......... and we are looking forward to serving you again
