In a landscape of rolling, green hills, towering high above valleys and surrouding villages, is the Arab castle of Qalat ar-Rabad.
Instead of taking a taxi up, I decided to walk up Qalat ar-Rabad from Ajloun. Since the castle was not visible anymore, I followed my sense of directions, and then, suddenly, the castle reappeared, much bigger than before now, almost within hands reach. After a steep last climb, I reached the top of the Mt. Auf at 1250m, bought my ticket, and crossed the wooden bridge over the moat to get in. The doors were not closed anymore and it is centuries ago that the castle was last defended; the castle still gave an impression of being highly defensive. The castle was built by Izz ad-Din Usama bin Munqidh, a nephew of the illustrous Saladin, in the 12th century, as a defensive castle against the crusaders.
