Al Karak Travel Guide: 38 reviews and 104 photos

Al Karak is a nice small town far about 200 Km from Amman. It's very important thanks its wonderful castle. It's very big and there are a lot of underground galleries full of mystery and it's very exciting to walk inside them. From the castle you can see a wonderful landscape all around it.
You can spend to visit the castle about one hour. I suggest to park the car outside the city centre due the overcrowded streets of the city. The best day to visit the castle is on Friday.
