Ajloun Castle, built in the 12th century to defend Jordan's highlands, dominates the green Jebel Ajloun region. Crenellated walls, vaulted chambers and courtyards offer sweeping views over the Jordan Valley and across to Galilee.
It sits a short drive from Jerash, making a natural northern day out. Allow an hour and respect the steep stone steps. Travellers who hire car & driver in Jordan often pair Ajloun with Jerash and Umm Qais, while full package tours to Jordan include the castles of the north.
