Desert Castles - Qasr al-Kharaneh

About this activity

Delve deep into Jordan’s history as you visit 3 of Jordan’s remarkable desert castles.

These are beautiful examples of early Islamic buildings scattered around the eastern desert. Their fine frescoes, mosaics & carvings, portray life during the 7th & 8th centuries.

Called castles due to their imposing nature, they served several purposes, such as caravan stations, resort pavilions, and trade & agriculture centers. They stand as a testament to a rich era in history, namely the flourishing beginnings of Islamic-Arab civilizations. Explore UNESCO-listed Qusayr Amra, known for its 8th-century frescoes of hedonistic scenes, Qasr al-Azraq, and Qasr al-Kharrana

Visit the Caves of Seven Sleepers. The legend of the ‘seven sleepers’ involves seven Christian boys who were persecuted, then escaped to a cave and slept there for 309 years.

Enrich your stay in Jordan and trek through the desert as you visit these castles. Get off the beaten track as you visit the Cave of the Seven Sleepers.
