Look beyond Jordan’s most celebrated attractions to see some lesser-known historical treasures on this private Islamic Desert Castles day trip from Amman. Head east in this long trip to Al-Azraq, a castle that Lawrence of Arabia once used as a headquarters, and then explore the fresco-painted masterpiece of Amra and Al -Kharanah Castles. Finish at Ajloun, a hilltop medieval fortress built to defend against the Crusaders. Your tour includes private leisure transportation with English-Speaking Driver, hotel pick up and drop off, as well as entrance fees if Jordan Pass option not selected.

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!!

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!

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.

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.

I loved this tour. There was just our guide and us which was fabulous.
I loved everything about this day and the opportunity to travel east and then north west and the variety of castles we saw.
A wonderful snapshot of Jordan!
