  • A visit to Quseir Amra doesn't take much time because it is such a compact venue. This 8th Century UNESCO World Heritage site appears suddenly in the middle of the desert after a 1 hr 20 minute drive....  more

  • Amazing place. The most spectacular frescoes. Just delightful. We were lucky enough to have it all to ourselves for about an hour before a dreaded tour group turned up.
  • When you see this mini castle from the outside, you would say it’s not worth the visit. Just do it and you will be amazed when you see the inside. The castle has hand paintings on all the walls dated back in in the 700’s. You will be astounded by the art. It’s a must visit if you want to see something vintage and different.
  • The place is beautiful. The paintings on the walls are amazing. Only giving 4 stars as the caretaker outside was rip off and would try to charge you more without a reciept. I had free access but was still misguided by him to pay more. Be aware of such thugs through out the country and request a reciept if you are asked to pay a price
  • A UNESCO world heritage preserve site. A must see when you visit jordan. Amazing work of art of the old civilation.
  • A testament to human cultural history in the middle of nowhere. The building is of less interest; it is the paintings that make this place worth visiting. Take you time and try to decipher the meaning of the fragments. Very impressive.
