- Ajloun Nature Reserve - Upgrade your tour with Roe Deer Trail, this short circular self-guided easy trail starts at the campsite and offers great views over the reserve. Not far from the campsite you will find an old stone wine press. Early in the morning, you may be lucky enough to see Roe deer before you return to the visitor center.
- Ajloun Nature Reserve - Upgrade your tour with Rasoun Trail, this guided moderate trail, begins at the Reserve’s Visitor Center; you will hike through thick, healthy woodlands filled with Oak, Pistachio, and oriental Strawberry trees. Take a short detour to view a ruined wine press before you pass one of the oldest Strawberry trees in the Reserve on your way down into the valley.
The trail climbs 1000m above sea level at Eagle’s View Point descending to Rasoun village, and then you will be transferred to visit the Soap House at the Royal Academy for Nature Conservation where the local women of Ajloun follow the traditional process of making Orjan pure Olive Oil soap.
- Ajloun Nature Reserve - Upgrade your tour with the Biscuit House Experience, this is your destination for some scrumptious Jordanian delicacies. Every morning, dozens of cookie batches are baked freshly using only premium local products. For this experiential challenge, you will be guided to make your own (kusmat) bread; a traditional northern Jordanian delicacy which is served on holidays and joyous occasions. To keep your loaf fluffy, generous amounts of locally harvested and pressed olive oil is added. Participants will get to enjoy their baking along with a steaming cup of aromatic tea with the scenic view of Ajloun Forest. It is worth all the while!

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!
