Tucked away in the backyard of Amman, Wadi Seer is a lovely valley with quiet villages, lots of children, hidden caves and the ruins of a palace.
On one side, you can still see an example of one of the animals which were all around the outside walls: a lion guards the northern entrance. When you give it a closer look, you can discern the remains of other animals on the other corners. Walking a little up the road, you can enter the Araq al-Amir (Cave of the Prince) caves. These natural caves were used as stables, and some of them are so big they could easily house a good party. On the right of the entrance to one of the caves, you can find the Aramaic inscription for Tobias in the face of the rocks. From the gallery right in front of the caves, you can enjoy a great view over the valley, the bare mountains surrounding the castle, and the friendly salutes of passers-by on the road below.
