Sights

The following description of the castles and Azraq details a road trip that takes the northern route from Amman to Azraq and the southern highway on the return trip. This clockwise tour serves hitchhikers better because there is more traffic; if you have a car, you could as easily go in the counterclockwise direction. The road from Amman to Zarqa passes through Jordan’s most notorious speed trap, where gimlet-eyed cops dispense fines at a honking JD50.
