Kerak Castle

Kerak Castle guide: the mighty Crusader fortress on the King's Highway and its crusader galleries.

Kerak Castle is one of the great Crusader strongholds of the region, a maze of vaulted halls, galleries and secret passageways crowning a hill on the King's Highway south of Amman.

Its cool stone interiors and panoramic ramparts make it a highlight of any southern road trip. Allow about an hour. Travellers who hire car & driver in Jordan include Kerak between the Dead Sea and Petra, and full package tours to Jordan feature it on the King's Highway route.
