Prepare to be amazed by the treasures Jordan's desert offers with this tour of the desert castles and the Dead Sea. Do not miss this unique and magical experience.
Desert Castles & Dead Sea Tour
We'll pick you up from your hotel in Amman and drive to the east of Jordan to begin this special tour. We'll discover two of the most emblematic desert castles in the country, built between the 7th and 11th centuries and used as defense hubs, caravanserais, and palaces.
First, we'll visit Harranah Castle, built by the Umayyad caliphs and an important example of early Islamic architecture. We will explore the courtyard and rooms while learning about Roman, Byzantine, and Sassanid influences.
Next, we'll head to Amra Castle, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Inside this medieval palace, you will see 8th-century fresco paintings depicting hunting scenes, portraits of rulers, and zodiac schemes.
After the castle tours, we'll go to the Dead Sea, bordered by Jordan, Israel, and Palestine, situated more than 400 meters below sea level. The high salt and mineral concentration prevents life from developing, giving the lake its name.
You will have 2 hours of free time to swim in the Dead Sea and enjoy its benefits, known for cosmetic and medical treatments for centuries. You'll be amazed by how easy it is to float.
We'll conclude the tour in approximately 9-9.5 hours and drop you off at your hotel in Amman.
