From Amman, you can plunge into the desert and explore some of the so-called desert castles.
Soon after leaving Amman, the road takes you to the desert, a stony, flat, greyish desert stretching out to the horizon on all sides. It is in this desert that in the 7th and 8th century BCE the Umayyad rulers in Damascus built desert castles, the function of some of which is still not completely clear. The first such castle was Kharaneh, a rectangular yellowish building rising out of the desert. Currently, it is thought to have served as a caravanserai, a kind of inn used by Umayyads on their way to the holy land. While the heat outside burns and makes you feel like being in an oven, stepping inside brings an instant relief.
