Getting TO/AROUND: Difficult to describe....From the main Inter-City Bus Station, next to the Police Station is a Flea Market, at the end, turn walking down hill toward the Crystal Hotel and Waterfront. On your left side is a large Mosque and the street opens up. On the north side, next to the Mosque are buses - catch the one to Karak Castle at approximately 7:30-8:00am. The trip is 3hrs, the fare is less than 1.5JD. The route travels along the Dead Sea Highway with the mountains on your right and Israel across the Sea. The landscape is quite beautiful.

You'll have time to see Karak Castle, have lunch, and catch the bus back to Aqaba in the afternoon.
