Off to visit the old Umayyad Amara Castle. This rare architectural masterpiece set in the heart of the desert , and its most notable for the frescoes on the inside walls, and the dome of the palace, which covers hot water bath ceiling look like a piece of the sky where the towers heavenly plotted show great skill. And tell countless stories of the life as it was during the 8th century. And last stop is to visit Kharaneh Castle it is one of the best-preserved Umayyad monuments. This castle was built in a square shape for defense prepossess.

It is also possible that some of these structures, like Qusayr Amra, Kharaneh and Mshash, served as resting places for high government officials on their way to Hejaz.

The Dead Sea is one of the most incredible places in the world. It is known for the Biblical story of the destruction of Sodom and Gomorra, which was turned into salt. The Dead Sea speaks for itself; there is no living fish! It is by far one of Jordan’s most impressive and spectacular places to visit. Its calm shining water glowing from its scorching sun is known for the concentration of salt and minerals, which makes it a therapeutic as well as a unique swimming experience not to be missed!
