Amman is surrounded by centuries-old, Umayyad-built historical sights, but getting to Jordan’s “Desert Castles” isn’t easy by public transportation. Visit Kharana Palace, Amra Palace, and Al-Azraq Castle—along with top attractions within Amman, including the Roman amphitheater—during this private, full-day tour. Hotel transfers are included; upgrade to include admission tickets.
