Our family had an incredible time exploring the impressive castle set atop the hills of Ajloun in Jordan. The panoramic views were breathtaking, and we loved wandering through the ancient walls, imagining the history that unfolded there. One of the highlights was climbing to the top of the tower, where we snapped some unforgettable family photos against the backdrop of the sprawling landscape. While the drive from the Dead Sea was a bit longer than expected, our guide was knowledgeable and kept us engaged with fascinating stories about the region. Overall, this private tour offered a wonderful blend of adventure and education, and we left with lasting memories of our day.

Exploring Ajloun was a fantastic way for us to dive into Jordan’s history while surrounded by beautiful scenery. The ride from the Dead Sea was smooth, and our guide made it even more enjoyable with interesting stories about the region. Once we arrived, the castle was impressive; we loved wandering through the ancient walls and taking in the breathtaking views. One small drawback was that the time felt a bit rushed, as we had so much more we wanted to soak in. Overall, it was a memorable day and a unique addition to our trip with friends.

We especially enjoyed wandering through the castle’s fascinating architecture, which offered stunning views and plenty of photo opportunities. While the day was filled with memorable moments, we did find the drive from our starting point took slightly longer than we anticipated.
