Ajloun
When the area is coated in a wide variety of wildflowers.
The rich greenery makes Ajloun a popular spot for picnickers and hikers, especially in the spring, Ajloun is just a short journey from Jerash 73 km north of Amman,
through pine forest and olive groves and boasts scores of ancient sites, including watermills, forts and villages, all in the beautiful hills and valleys of northern Jordan. It’s Mediterranean like hill country ranging from 600 - 1100 m above sea level. 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 Ajloun-Dibben area , and the towering Ayyubid castle at Ajloun.
