The day we toured the ancient Roman city of Jerash we also planned to visit Ajloun Forest Reserve. After arriving we discovered that all the trails were closed due to all the rain from the days previous. We were quite bummed about missing out, but decided to make the best of it and tour Ajloun Castle instead. The castle was well worth the 1 JOD ($1.41) entry fee.
My first proper castle tour, it even had a (dry) moat.
The castle was well-lit with modern lighting.
I can't imagine how people lived here using only candles and lamps.
Me, happily exploring the castle.
Excellent views of the surrounding hills.
We had to admit, it's the perfect place to put a castle.
We when arrived back at the Amman Pasha Hotel we decided to have dinner at the Pizza Roma Cafe, which is attached to the hotel. They had great food, drinks, and entertainment. The workers tried to lure us into dancing with them, including when one of the men donned women's clothing and gave us quite a show.
I am not cool enough to pull off a fez.
Great pictures. I like the view above the valley. I think you look good in a fez. You look like you might be a bit chilled exploring the castle . I'm glad you got to experience this side of the world . Great memories. Love you
