Activity itinerary

AlAzraq Castle

  • 30m
ome of the most noteworthy remains of human habitation east in Jordan are the castles built by the Ummayad caliphates during the growing days of Islam (7th & 8th centuries CE). During the height of the Umayyad dynasty, architecture flourished due to the cultural exchange, which was also accompanied by major trade routes. The Umayyad dynasty was later overthrown by the Abbasids, in 750 CE, and architecture consequently changed and evolved which can also be exhibited in Jordan

Quseir Amra

  • 30m
Proceed to Qusayr Amra, a UNESCO World Heritage site renowned for its stunning architecture. Located in the desert’s core, it features vibrant frescoes on the ceiling and walls, illustrating hunting scenes, animal and bird portraits, and other figures. The zodiac depicted on the domed ceiling of the hot room is among the earliest surviving map images. Originally part of a larger complex, today only a small, non-military country cabin remains. It stands as a significant and exceptional example of early Islamic art and architecture

The Cave of the Seven Sleepers

  • 50m
Return to your driver and proceed to the Cave of the Seven Sleepers. Legend says this cave (Ahl al Kahf) served as a hiding place for seven Christian men and their dog, fleeing persecution by Roman Emperor Trajan for their faith. They slept there for 309 years, awakening when their beliefs were no longer condemned. Today, the cave is a significant religious and historical site, surrounded by ruins, with tombs and some remains visible inside. After exploring these sites, reunite with your driver for the journey back, including a hotel drop-off in Amman.
