Ajloun in Jordan

Ajloun is the capital town of the Ajloun  Governorate, a hilly town in the north of Jordan, located 76 kilometers (around 47 miles) north west of Amman . It is noted for its impressive ruins of the 12th-century Ajloun Castle. The marvels of nature and the genius of medieval Arab military architecture have given northern Jordan two of the most important ecological and historical attractions in the Middle East: the sprawling pine forests of the Ajloun -Dibbine area, and the towering Ayyubid castle at Ajloun , which helped to defeat the Crusaders eight centuries ago. Locals often take advantage of the green landscapes of Ajloun to take a break from city life and connect with nature. You can visit Ajloun Castle, Tal Mar Elias and Church of our lady in the mountain.
