In a landscape of rolling, green hills, towering high above valleys and surrouding villages, is the Arab castle of Qalat ar-Rabad.
After the minibus left Jerash, and was winding its way through curves in the valleys with lush vegetation, I started scanning the landscape for a first glimpse of the Qalat ar-Rabad. Before I expected it, I saw a yellowish building on top of one of the many hills defining the skyline, and I immediately knew that that was it. As the minibus sped towards Ajloun, the castle became always clearer. The contours, first not much more than a silhouette against the cloudy sky, turned into a sharply defined lines of a castle. From a distance, it looked like a fairy tale castle, with towers, and right on top of a hill.
