One more crusader castle in a long line of fortresses built on the long mountain range in the Middle East, Kerak Castle still stands proudly on a hilltop, with the crusader town hidden just behind its defensive walls.
After a 2-hour ride by minivan from Amman, I stepped out on the street and the goal of my trip here was immediately visible, looming high above me. The crusader castle of Kerak, defining the skyline above my head. Instead of following the road, I directly took the steep path leading up, and I was at the foot of the castle. Kerak, or Karak as it is often called, was visible behind the old walls of the crusader village, and I decided to walk around in the old town before entering the castle.
