This fortress was strategically built to control the three main routes into northwest Jordan. This hilltop structure is a remarkable example of medieval Arab-Islamic military architecture. The towers, chambers, galleries, and staircases, along with the stunning scenery of the surrounding hills, are sure to captivate you. Ascend the tower to soak in the historical ambiance and enjoy the scenic views of the Jordan Valley extending to the Dead Sea.

Umm Qays Archaeological Site - Later, travel to Umm Qais, one of the most breathtaking Greco-Roman cities. Discover the ruins of the Decapolis city of Gadara, now known as Umm Qais. This site is remarkable for the contrast between the Roman ruins and the deserted Ottoman-era village.
