Shobak Castle, less than an hour north of Petra, is a lonely reminder of former Crusader glory. Once called Mont Real, Shobak dates from the same turbulent period as Karak. The castle's exterior is impressive, with a foreboding gate and encircling triple wall. Despite the precautions of its builder, the fortress fell to Saladin only 75 years after it was built. Inscriptions by his proud successors appear on the castle walls.
“Thank you for the experience. Your service was without fault and I would recommend you with pleasure (and have already done so) - All the hotels and tour operators were excellent. The Borneo jungle hotels were everything we expected, sparse but beautiful with great service.
