Karak is one of
the many Crusader castles built in the 12th century between Aqaba and Turkey. It is the centerpiece of an otherwise friendly, dusty little town. The castle itself is pretty well preserved or reconstructed, with loads of so-called jail cells and an amazing amount of stables. We mere escorted around by an enthusiastic young police officer-cum-guide who showed us the 'VIP jail cell' and the various dining rooms. After our tour and a bit of poking around on
our own, we all sat down and enjoyed the view and the swifts darting around after insects.
