  • The town of Kerak lies east of the Dead Sea, marking roughly the halfway point through the king's highway. Its crusader castle, the largest in the kingdom, was built for military purposes, and as such is not covered with decorative frills, and is a pure example of architectural and military traditions of that time. Its galleries, towers, chapels and ramparts still echo with the resolve of the Crusaders who built them almost a thousand years ago.

  • The city's golden age came under Roman rule and the site now generally acknowledged to be one of the best preserved Roman Provincial towns in the world. Jerash reveals a fine example of the grand formal provincial Roman urbanism that is found throughout the Middle East, comprising paved and colonnaded streets, soaring hilltop temples, theatres, spacious public squares and Plaza baths, fountains and city walls pierced by towers and gates.

  • The castle of Ajloun, which was built in 1184 by a nephew of Saladin, who defeated the Crusaders in 1187. A fine example of Islamic architecture, the fortress dominated a wide stretch of the north Jordan Valley and passages to it. From its hill - top position, the castle protected the communications routes between south Jordan and Syria.
