Depart from the Dead Sea hotel in your own private leisure vehicle, accompanied by an English-speaking driver who also serves as your guide. Visit the Islamic Castle of Ajloun, constructed by Muslims in the 12th century during Saladin’s era for defense against the Crusaders. From its distinctive towers, enjoy the stunning scenery and lush northern fields. The name Ajloun has two possible origins: it could refer to “iron,” due to the presence of iron in the area, or it might be named after a priest, as the castle was built atop a monastery. Regardless, this captivating fortress is a must-see while visiting the Dead Sea!
