Great castle, great hotel
This is a top pick! ... . So we humped our bags through the town and found the Towers Castle Hotel. More than any other country, Jordan seems to have enacted a lot of changed since our guidebook was published in 2006. Apparently immediately after the book was ...
Hot Springs Again
... near the springs thus allowing us to have an early morning dip before heading to Karnak Castle. To share with you our experience in Jordan I will recount our efforts to get the gas bottle filled. This is one of the more difficult tasks on our trip as the ...
3. Tag Madaba nach Karak und Petra
... ich also Mt. Nebo nicht gefunden habe (wie ist nur Moses dahin gekommen???) fahre ich weiter durch die Wüstenlandschaft Richtung Karak. Ich nehme einen Anhalter mit. Den Namen habe ich schon wieder vergessen, aber er ist Polizist (hatte keine Uniform ...
8.Tag am Toten Meer
... absetzen. Ich bin weiter in den nächsten Canyon gefahren: Wadi Weida'a. Der Canyon liegt an der Strasse von Ghor Mazra'a nach Karak in einer Kurve an der rechten Seite. Es ist ein überraschend "grüner" Canyon, da dort offensichtlich das ganze Jahr ...
Home Again, Home Again, Jiggety-Jig
The Tower Hotel was only a minute's walk from Karak Castle; our morning’s destination. One of the biggest castles in Jordan, Karak Castle had its fair share of tour buses and happy-snappers. The castle was built on the top of a huge hill, with ...
Dead Sea: the lowest point on earth
... is going to jump out of the water at any second. Dead Sea has been great, but the heat and flies are relentless..So tomorrow, it's off to Dubai (where it's actually hotter, but hopefully the flies are a little less aggressive). Maa'salama from ...
Leaving Karak, heading towards Amman!
Dear Blog, Getting out of Karak was quite an overwhelming experience by itself. Being seated right behind the bus driver, I was held in suspense all the way as I watched him carefully navigate through the town's extremely narrowed roads and busy ...
Moses, Fortresses, and a Khaled.
... according to the Hebrew bible, where Moses first stood and sighted the "promised land". It offers a striking view of Jordan and, weather permitting, that view extends over the Dead Sea and into Jericho, Palestine, and Israel. Interesting ...
Can you really read a paper in the Dead Sea?
... the vid... (nb. open cuts hurt 9 times more in the dead sea!!) The Dead Sea also marks the border between Israel and Jordan so every 10kms along the coast road I would get to a check point with a couple Toyota pick ups with mounted machine guns on ...
The authentic 12th century Karak castle
... . Being so windy, I had to hold on to the handrail in order to advance forward. The Karak Crusader castle had more imposing military architecture than beauty. It was huge and had several dark hallways of roughly ...
Driving along the King's Highway en route to Karak
Dear Blog, In the comfort of our bus, we were now being driven towards our next point of interest along the King's Highway. Michel had fallen asleep in his seat right next to me as so many others did behind us. As for myself, my eyes were ...
Karak and Madaba
Day 4 in Jordan took me to Karak where the hotel hooked us up with this sweetest old man whose family is from Karak. We were told by the hotel people that if the guards or anybody asked us we were to say that he was family, and one of us was his family ...
PETRA TO SHOBAK TO KARAK, CRUSADER CASTLES
Wednesday, Feb 11 Day 7 in Jordan The wind and cold weather continued through the night, Len put his long johns and socks on, me too! The young Czech couple didn't come in, so they must have made it through the night. The water was cold this ...
Karak Castle
... drive by and check it out. Lot's of smoke but buildings here won't burn down as they are all cement. A little history on Karak(or Kerak): It was an ancient Crusader stronghold and is set at the top of the city. Many battles between the Franks and ...
South of Jordan Trip- Part 2 (belated, sorry)
... trips of my life, and I had some of the greatest adventures ever. I really hope that someday I can bring all of you to Jordan, because seeing such beauty made me really fall in love with this country. I hope you're all doing well. I know I'm about a ...
Karak - Crusader Era Castle
Karak Castle is a massive fortification from the Crusader Era and is only a couple hours outside of Amman. Karak was the castle of the cruel French crusader Renaud de Chatillon portrayed in the recent movie "Kingdom Of Heaven". He was notorious for ...
Car Ride from Wadi Hassa
Here's the long awaited video of sleepy Tim. If anyone has been on a trip with me before, you've probably seen this a few ...
It's Alive!
I'm now in Karak to see the crusader castle here, but today was kind of bad out so I decided to take a day trip where it was lower and warmer. Went down to the Wadi Mujib reserve where you can follow a siq for 2km, wading in the water as the canyon ...
King's Highway Amman to Petra
... reminded me of the view from the Ella Gap, Sri Lanka [Kat: This one was a real surprise- from my previous visit to Jordan I assumed the country was mostly flat … this was like a Jordanian Grand Canyon!]. At the lookout you could buy fossils, ...
Karak Castle
Got a bus from Amman to Karak and thankfully only had to wait a few minutes this time. At the hotel the guy tried to get me to take a double room 20JD but when I said I was going somewhere else he decided to give me a single room for 10JD. The castle ...
Kerak
During the Lordship of Paganus, in 1142 (AD obviously.), this archetypal castle was constructed to help secure the luscious Jordan valley and police the prosperous Royal Road, to threaten Egypt and the holy cities of Mecca and Medina and most ...

King's Highway, Dana & Karak
... between his brothers, establishing an Emirate of Mecca. The last Emir was Sharif Hussein bin Ali, the grandfather of the King of Jordan (Hussein I) We turned left towards the Mamluk part of the catle where we saw what was probably the mosque and the old ...
Madaba - Mt. Nebo - Wadi al-Mujib - Karak
... the visit of Mt. Nebo we drove to Kerak. We had a break at the Wadi al-Mujib. The wadi is the Grand Canyon of Jordan - a gaping crack in the plateau. The King's Highway winds in numerous serpentines down to the bottom of the canyon: from 700 m/2296 ...
Bethany, Mt. Nebo, Dead Sea, Wadi Mujib Jordan
... nonetheless. Next stop is Wadi Mujib. This is pretty much like a canyoneering experience but without the safety equipment! :-) Canyoneering Jordan style. We go up a river all in the rushing water facing upstream. To walk, you have to get your feet ...
The land of crusaders
... was not expected, so we all got a funny smile on our faces, when it appeared. Driving up one of steep hills of Jordan, just 20 kilometres from Amman, the power steering disappeared and battery light lit up. Almost immediately, we pulled to the shoulder ...
Sodom and Gomorrah
