Desert Castles

---

Since it was a Friday during Ramadan I opted to hire a driver today rather then try to explore on my own. I wanted to get out of Amman for part of the day so decided on heading out East to the "Desert Castle's" and to call them castle's is a bit of stretch.

You head out of Amman through the more industrial side of town and then along a well maintained, but pretty busy with a good bit of traffic and lots of police and check points along the route. I would have to give this excursion pretty low marks. I had a great driver and I got more out of our talk during the ride then anything else. While I wouldn't call the morning a total bust if I were visiting Jordan I would put the Desert Castle's way down on my to do list of things to explore.
