The Nightingale

A paved road meanders through the landscape and leads to stunning views of the Dead Sea in the distance. The Jordan Trail crosses the road so that it is a good point to get on or off the trail.

The Iraq Al-Amir Women Cooperative Society is an organization dedicated to improving the lives of women in the Iraq Al-Amir region by providing training, workshops and access to financial resources.

Qasr Al-Abd is an imposing 2nd century BC palace. It impresses with its massive limestone blocks and detailed lion sculptures. The palace, which was probably built by Hyrcanus of Jerusalem, offers fascinating insights into the ancient architecture and history of the region. It was initially constructed on top of an artificial lake.

While hiking along the Jordan Trail, the landscape changes. Here, you will encounter a little more vegetation than you might be used to in the desert. Keep your eyes peeled for some colorful flowers as well.

Iraq Al-Amir is famous for its ancient caves and the historic Qasr Al-Abd castle dating back to the 2nd century B.C.

There is a small shop with snacks and drinks in the village of Rmeimeen. Treat yourself to some falafel sandwiches! If you want to spend the night, ask for the homestay in town.

really a fantastic road with a breathtaking view! We started from Madaba, drove down to the Dead Sea and took the same route back. We were there in November and it was really hot. Make sure you take enough food and drink with you, as it will definitely take longer than planned! So start early enough. We got there a bit dark in the evening and then had problems with children throwing stones at us (which seems to happen more often in Jordan. We told our landlord about it, who reported the incident to the police and we had to give a statement the next day 😂). Traffic was not a problem and most people were really nice and friendly (we were asked several times if they would take us to Madaba).
