The full day trip "Castles of the desert" it's an easy trip (if you travel with conditioned air, as you surely do) but not particularly interesting.

You may count on long hours crossing an ugly desert, to see some buildings that are only a little bit more than inexpressive ruins. The exception is Qasr Amrah, a really beautiful building from the 8th century that was not exactly a castle, but a public bath.

The paintings in the walls and roofs are magnificent, and well preserved.
Being only 40 km from Amman, you may consider an exclusive visit, saving you time and kilometres.
