Discover three of Jordan’s famous desert castles on this 6-hour private tour from Amman or Airport. With an informative private driver, learn about these fabled castles, built by Umayyad rulers during the 7th and 8th centuries as you visit each one in the desert plains of eastern Jordan. Explore UNESCO-listed Qusayr Amra, famous for its 8th-century frescoes of hedonistic scenes, before continuing to the atmospheric Qasr Kharana and Qasr al-Azraq castles, the latter used as a military base by TE Lawrence, known as ‘Lawrence of Arabia,’ during World War I.

        Good tour for traveler who want to see something special in Jordan
        I took day tour from Amman to Petra. The tour is well coordinated and managed by the tour guide Anas. Everything is smooth including pick up confirmation message day before, and giving me the information for my car and driver Omar. I recommend to book the tour if you want to enjoy Petra and Petra by night.

        Wadi Rum
        We had an amazing experience exploring Wadi Rum with Abdel Aziz. He was punctual, friendly, and incredibly patient throughout the trip, making us feel safe the entire time. Aziz’s warm personality and professionalism truly enhanced our journey. Highly recommend!

        Great Trip - Lots Packed Into a Short Time
        My wife and I joined this tour in February 2025. It was a memorable tour. The value is quite good. It is a private tour. The trip involves a LOT of driving in a short period, but you will see Petra, Wadi Rum, Dead Sea. This is something you could not do on your own! So be ready for a lot of driving. Highlights included the jeep tour in Wadi Rum, the overnight camp in Wadi Rum, for sure we enjoyed every min of this tour.

You can tell that he loves her job and takes pride in his heritage. Tamer our guide in Wadi Rum was so great, he's expert driver and know how to drive inside the desert. Thanks for the great day

      i didn't understand why its hard to find this tour online
      when we was google the sites in Jordan Desert Castel showed as important site to visit, and it really was one of the greatest Castel we visited in the world, there you are in the middle of the desert then finding a great Castel
      the second great thing about this that we meet Jasem, just to let you know Jasem was our driver for this tour and he was the best driver we had in Jordan and we felt bad that the rest of the tour was not with him or his company

      Had the most wonderful experience with Creative and specifically Ahmad, all the sites was great, and I really can’t recommend this enough. And best of all we felt completely safe, The people of Jordan are one of a kind.
