From Amman, you can plunge into the desert and explore some of the so-called desert castles.
In fact, an ingenuous system of narrow openings combined with thick walls provide for a natural air conditioning. Walking around the dark rooms (there are 61 of them) makes you try to imagine how life must have been here so many centuries ago. The next stop: Qasr al-Amra, perhaps the most beautiful of the castles. Also this castles probably served as an inn, and it is still easy to see the system used to pump up water from deep below, transport and heat it, and use it to provide for hot, luke warm and cold water baths. Once inside, you are overwhelmed by the frescoes on the walls and the ceiling. Some parts are badly damaged, but overall it is quite easy to see what they represent.
