| Al Karak castle and town from Kings Highway |
The castle was built by crusaders and then reconstructed by Mamelucs. It may be not so imressive as European medieval castles, say Carcassonne, from the outside, but the major thing about Karak are underground galleries, which you can enter and explore. Sometimes, it is useful to have an electric lamp (which I did not have). |
