Al Karak

On the way to Amman, one of the nicest things that you can see is the Karak Castle. It's a large wedge-shaped castle, built on a ridge and protected on the east and west by steep valley. Two deep ditches have been cut across the ridge at the north and south ends of the enclosure, isolating the castle from Kerak town and from the hill to the south.

You can see more on my Al-karak page
