AJLOUN

A short journey northwest from Jerash, through a beautiful pine-forest and olive groves, brings you to the town of Ajlun. Hadrian stayed here over the winter of 129-30 AD. This is the location of the Muslim Castle of Ajloun, from which there is a splendid view westwards into the Jordan Valley.

WHAT TO SEE

Ajlun Castle

Ajlun Castle

The marvels of nature and the genius of medieval Arab military architecture have given northern Jordan two of the most important ecological and historical attractions in the Middle East: the sprawling pine forests of the Ajlun-Dibbine area, and the towering Ayyubid castle at Ajlun, which helped to defeat the Crusaders eight centuries ago. Ajlun Castle (Qal'at Ar-Rabad) was built by one of Saladin's generals in 1184 AD to control the iron mines of Ajlun.
