Shobak Castle, also known as Montreal, is one of Jordan's oldest Crusader castles, less restored and gloriously atmospheric than Kerak. Crumbling walls, deep galleries and silent courtyards lie scattered over a fortified hill near the desert road.
There are no crowds, just views and ruins. Climb the passages carefully. Travellers who hire car & driver in Jordan stop here on the road between Kerak and Petra, and full package tours to Jordan include it as a wild detour south.
