Qasr al Azraq Travel Guide: 18 reviews and 48 photos

Near the Natural Reserve of Al-Azraq you can see the Qasr al-Azraq.
This is the easist accessible castle of all the Desert Castles and it is very interesting.
We don't know much of its history and only few restorations and new discover was made in the past years.
T.E. Lawrence lived here in 1917 and this is the reason because many tourists come here. By the way there are many other things to discover!!!

Enjoy your trip to Qasr al-Azraq.
