Qasr Kharana is 60km east of Amman and today stands stand by an important desert road that links Amman with Azraq, the Saudi Arabian border, remote areas of Eastern Jordan and Iraq. Driving from Amman it takes approximately 1 hour to reach the site by car. The imposing castle enjoys a dramatic setting being strategically set on on relatively high ground (although the desert here is flat, and it is only fifteen meters above the neighboring wadi).
