THE DESERT CASTLES

The Eastern Desert stretches all the way from Amman to the Iraqi border.

We only went about 100 kms into the desert!

Al Azraq is an Oasis town with what Lawrence of Arabia called the "Blue Fort"

It was quite well preserved inside and plenty of rooms were available to escape from the sun!

Along the desert road you can stop to admire the wildlife and the views!

Inside Qasyr Amra there are some great frescoes. The camel stands out well!

And Qasr Hraneh is impressive, but it's not as big as it looks and has a huge power station just a hundred yards away!

Then it was back to Amman to relax before going to the Dead Sea.
