Ajloun Castle

Very interesting historical place with a nice view. Easily accessible, although you have to look for parking in high season.

Such a nice castle The view from the top is amazing you can really feel the history.. loved the experience definitely a must visit!🥰

A historical place that reflects the magnificence of our ancestors. Something special and amazing. You can stand shocked, how they did something like this.

Amazing castle built by Salahuddin's general. The place is well maintained and clean. You can find signs everywhere to help you understand what are you looking at. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. Highly recommended. Maybe it is better to visit during weekdays (not weekends) so that no kids screaming, and less crowded.

A very wonderful place, it reminds you how strong people were who built this castle and who excelled in the art of construction, mastery and war skills. All the services in the place are wonderful. Thanks to the Ministry of Tourism. With a general safety note, attention must be paid to children when climbing to the top, as the spaces between the protective fence allow small children to pass through.

I was truly impressed by how much it has changed! The entire site is now much cleaner, better organized, and clearly well taken care of. You can really see the effort they’ve put into maintaining the historical beauty of the place while making it more enjoyable for visitors.

Visiting Ajloun Castle was a captivating experience that beautifully blended history, architecture, and breathtaking views. Perched high on a hilltop, the castle offers panoramic scenes of the surrounding green hills and valleys—absolutely worth the climb. The structure itself is incredibly well-preserved, and walking through its ancient stone corridors truly transports you back in time. Built in the 12th century by one of Saladin’s generals, the castle is a remarkable example of Islamic military architecture, designed to defend against Crusader invasions. What stood out most was how peaceful and serene the entire setting felt. Despite its age, the castle is maintained well, with informative signs and exhibits that help you appreciate the strategic importance of the site and its historical role in protecting trade routes. Whether you’re a history enthusiast or simply looking for a scenic cultural stop, Ajloun Castle is a must-visit. It’s a place where you can soak in the rich legacy of Jordan while enjoying some of the most stunning natural landscapes in the north of the country
