Commence your journey from your hotel in Amman in a private luxury vehicle, accompanied by an English-speaking driver who also serves as your guide. Visit the Ajloun Castle, an Islamic fortress constructed by Muslims in the 12th Century, during Saladin’s era. This castle served as a defensive structure during the Crusader period. Take in the extraordinary views of the green northern fields from its distinctive towers. The name ‘Ajloun’ has two possible origins- it could mean ‘iron’, due to the presence of iron materials in the area, or it might have been named after a priest, on whose monastery the castle was constructed. Regardless, this impressive fortress castle is a must-visit attraction if you’re in Amman!
