Karak, Jordan, resides inside the walls of an old city and is home to 19th century Ottoman buildings.

The highlight has to be Karak Castle, sitting 900 metres above sea level, which showcases Crusader masonry and also Arab work in limestone. Tunnels and passageways await the brave to wander through them. At night, the castle features a sound and light event where the castle and towers are lit by 50 lights, and a documentary is shown that tells of Karak’s past since 800BC.
