Ajloun Castle

---

Ajloun castle, built by one of Saladin's Generals, has a commanding view of the neighbouring areas out towards the West Bank of the Jordan river and North towards Syria and the Golan and East towards Jerash. The castle was never captured by any marauding crusader armies. It was an important signaling post for transmitting messages from Aqaba to Damascus.

We traveled to the north with our friend D.. and her daughter E. In fact, we did most of the trip with them as our itineraries were pretty similar. D.. is another newbie at the College in Doha and a colleague of N..'s.
