Privat Tour: Full-Day Islamic Desert Castles och Ajloun Castle Trip från Amman
Beskrivning
Se bortom Jordans mest berömda attraktioner för att se några mindre kända historiska skatter på denna privata islamiska öknens slott dagstur från Amman. Gå österut på den här långa resan till Al-Azraq, ett slott som Lawrence of Arabia en gång använde som huvudkontor, och utforska sedan det freskomålade mästerverket av Amra och Al-Kharanah Castle. Avsluta vid Ajloun, en medeltida fästning på en kulle byggd för att försvara sig mot korsfararna. Din tur inkluderar privat fritidstransport med engelsktalande förare, hotellhämtning och avlämning samt entréavgifter om alternativet Jordan Pass inte är valt.

Resplan
Efter upphämtning från ditt centrala Amman med ett privat, luftkonditionerat fordon med din egen privata engelsktalande förare som fungerar som din guide, koppla av när du reser ut ur staden och in i öknens slätter i östra Jordanien. Kör med din vänliga informativa engelsktalande förare för att uppleva de fascinerande ökneslotten. Regionen är prickad med slott från 700- och 800-talet, många inom en 15-minuters bilresa från varandra, som ursprungligen byggdes av kaliferna i Umayyad-dynastin som landsbygdens reträtt och jaktstugor. Hör berättelser om denna kraftfulla dynasti, de första muslimska härskarna i det arabiska riket, inklusive fascinerande utdrag om deras extravagans och utbrott. När du reser, berätta gärna föraren om det finns ett slott du vill se mer av. Din turné är privat, så resplanen kan skräddarsys för att passa dina intressen.
Efter ungefär en timme på vägen, dra upp på UNESCO-listade Quseir 'Amra, en av östra Jordans mest kända slott. En gång ett jaktpalats i Umayyaderna pryds denna fantastiskt restaurerade byggnad med fresker från 800-talet som visar dekadenta scener av nakna kvinnor, vin och fester.
Fortsätt till Qasr Al -Kharanah, en imperialistisk 2-nivå fästning som står i en enorm slätt. Tanke att ha byggts på romerska grundar, utstrålar detta stämningsfulla slott intriger och visar ett rikt utbud av mesopotamiska, arabiska och grekiska arkitektoniska influenser.
Slutligen åk till Qasr Al-Azraq, ursprungligen en umayyadjaktresa och en gång använd som huvudkontor av T.E. Lawrence, den brittiska soldaten från 1900-talet och den arabiska revoltledaren, kanske mer känd som Lawrence of Arabia. Vandra runt de solbrända gårdarna, tornen och moskén och lär dig hur Lawrence baserade sin verksamhet här under 1917 till 1918.
Efter att ha utforskat här, fortsätt till slottet Ajloun från 1100-talet, byggt under Saladins tid för att försvara sig mot korsfararnas arméer. Gå in i denna halvintakta kullefästning och vandra i de vandrande korridorerna och trapporna. Se mordhålen som används av inkräktarna och beundra den fantastiska utsikten över de frodiga kullarna i Jordan Valley från tornen. Då kan du återkomma med ditt fordon och koppla av på din långa resa tillbaka till Amman där din resa slutar med hotellavgång.

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>
