Kerak Castle

One of the largest Crusader Castles ever built
Whether you approach Karak from the ancient Kingsโ€™ Highway to the east or from the Dead Sea to the west, the striking silhouette of this fortified town and castle will instantly make you understand why the fates of kings and nations were decided here for millennia.
An ancient Crusader stronghold, Karak sits 900 m above sea level and lies inside the walls of the old city. The city today is home to around 170,000 people and continues to boast a number of restored 19th century Ottoman buildings, restaurants and places to stay. But it is undoubtedly Karak Castle that dominates.
