Ajlun, a city in northern Jordan, is famous for its castle. The archaeological site is popular for tourists.

Get in

Buses from Amman leave from Trababour Bus Station to 'Ajloun whenever they are full. Your best bet is early in the morning, around 8 am as they become more scarce as the day progresses.

Get around

'Ajloun is not a very big town, the bus will drop you off in the center and in order to get to the castle, which is clearly visible from the town perched on a hill, you can either walk the 3 km or take a taxi there.

See
