Stop At: The Citadel, K. Ali Ben Al-Hussein St. 146, Amman Jordan
Start your tour by visiting the main Islamic attractions in Amman: The Citadel, Grand Husseini Mosque, and King Abdullah Mosque.
Duration: 2 hours
Stop At: The Cave of the Seven Sleepers, Amman Jordan
Then drive 20 mins to the most popular attraction outside of Amman is Kahf Al-Raqim or The Cave of The Seven Sleepers. Mentioned in the Holy Qur'an in a Sura named Al-Kahf (The Cave), it is located outside the village of Al-Raqim, 10 km east of Amman. Persecuted by the despotic rule of Trajan for monotheism, a group of pious youths took refuge in this cave.
To preserve them, Allah put them to sleep, and when they revived 300 years later (309 lunar years as inimitability mentioned in the Holy Qur'an), they thought that they were only asleep for a day or so. Christianity was widespread by then, and when they were discovered, Allah put them to rest forever. At the cave, there still stands Byzantine and Roman ruins as well as a mosque, which exactly fits the descriptions in the Holy Qur'an.
Duration: 45 minutes

We were driven to the 3no. castles and the cave in a new, comfy car. All went smoothly. Good driver. It took us 6h in total and we had a great time exploring them. Bring food with you if you need it and if you want to save time as there is a lot of driving time.

What can say, what an experience of a lifetime. One that I will never forget. It was only possible by the amazing brother Mohammed B who was our lovely driver. I will never forget the hospitality, professionalism and the detailed care he went into from turning up prompt on the day and communicating with us the days prior to the excursion. He was very knowledgable and answered all questions relating to the excursion. He provided cold water, Wi-Fi and an excellent, spacious vehicle.He was a great ambassador for his company and Jordanian hospitality and immersed us in true Jordanian culture. My family and I would highly recommended this company for this tour and please ask for Mohammed B as you driver, you won’t be disappointed.Hi we will land and get to our hotel for 8am but wanted to do the tour.

We really wanted to see the cave of the 7 sleepers and the three main mosques- we couldn’t have asked for a better driver than Mohammad- we are so glad we have found a true gem of a human in him. We had so many questions that he was able to advise us with regarding the mosque visits and especially the Cave visit. We happened to mention that my daughter was interested in structures for her A-level art and Photography and he was so helpful in pointing out prominent buildings and structures that she was able to photograph on route. We wanted to know where the famous place to eat Kunafe was and he was able to advise us. We are so truly grateful to have booked this excursion which was made 200% even better for having Mohammad take us there- we would highly recommend this visit, do ask for Mohammed BardaghawiGreat guide and service. Had an awesome time with guide. Very friendly and accomodating. Timing everywhere was perfect. No rush at all at any of the sites.
