Ajloun CastlePerched high above the surrounding forests, Ajloun Castle is a striking example of Islamic military architecture. Built between 1184 and 1188 by the nephew of Saladin, it played a key role in defending the region against Crusader incursions. At the visitor center, you’ll have time to refresh before exploring the castle itself.
