Karak, nestled in the heart of Jordan, is renowned for its formidable Crusader castle, Karak Castle, which looms over the town from a strategic hilltop. This ancient fortress, dating back to the 12th century, offers a window into the turbulent past of the Crusades in this region. Beyond its historical significance, Karak is also known for its traditional Jordanian hospitality and culinary delights, particularly its famous dish, Mansaf. The town itself provides a blend of ancient architecture and modernity, set against a backdrop of rugged landscapes that are typical of Jordan’s central region. Visitors to Karak can explore the maze of stone-vaulted halls and corridors within the castle, and enjoy breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside.
