  Visit Um al Jimal, a haunting caravan outpost with impressive architectural features such as its iconic archways and the remains of some 14 Byzantine churches. Drive on to Azraq, the oasis whose Roman fortress was later re-used as a winter headquarters by T. E. Lawrence during the Arab Revolt of the early 20th Century. Visit the Azraq Wetlands Reserve managed by the RSCN (Royal Society for the Conservation of Nature)--a vital reclamation project which has begun to attract hundreds of migratory bird species back to their ancient migratory routes between Africa and Asia or Europe. Stop for lunch at the RSCN's Azraq Lodge, a restored British Army hospital. After lunch visit two of Jordan's famed "Desert Castles." These structures scattered throughout Jordan were in fact Omayyad hunting lodges built during the 8th Century. Qasr Amra, one of Jordan's World Heritage Sites, has a frescoed vault roof and bathhouse. Qasr Kharanah, a more formidable structure, displays the "hidden within the walls" structural style well suited to the heart of the desert. Return to Amman for overnight.
