Descrizione
Day trip from Amman to Kharana, Amra, and Azraq castles, then 3 hours in Wadi al-Dahik by 4x4, with white chalk cliffs and dark basalt. Or see the Citadel and Roman Theater instead. Shared or private.
About Wadi al-Dahik. Wadi al-Dahik is a remote desert valley in eastern Jordan, in a protected area where pale white chalk cliffs stand against dark basalt rock. It sits away from the main tourist routes. With a local guide from the area, you explore the wadi by 4x4 and see the landscape up close. The 3 hours are for the wadi itself, not a quick photo stop.
What you will experience. After hotel pickup in Amman, you drive east to Qasr Kharana (45 minutes), Qusayr Amra (30 minutes), and Azraq Castle (30 minutes). With the Wadi al-Dahik option, you then spend 3 hours in the wadi by 4x4 with a local guide. With the Amman option, you spend 1 hour at the Citadel and 30 minutes at the Roman Theater.
Why this trip is different. The wadi gets its own 3 hours with a local guide from the area. The guide fee and the 4x4 are covered by your price, so there is nothing extra to pay at the wadi apart from entrance fees. If you prefer the city, the Amman option puts the castles and the Citadel and Roman Theater in one day. Both are offered private or shared (up to 10 guests).
