Amazing walk through over 900 years of history. The local tour guide gave us wonderful insight into the place. Highly recommend! Full review by Khalaf H

Ruins of crusader castle are bigger and more intact that you might think. Museum was closed when we were there, which was disappointing. Probably best to get a guide, but not necessary to poke around… Full review by MMZurich
Can one do both Jerash and Kerak castle as a day trip from Amman? At what time should one start in the morning? Are they near each other?
A:
Kerak and Jerash are in opposite directions from Amman. Kerak is south & Jerash is north. Personally, I would NOT try to see both in the same day, especially if you want to spend time …
Kerak and Jerash are in opposite directions from Amman. Kerak is south & Jerash is north. Personally, I would NOT try to see both in the same day, especially if you want to spend time at each site. In my opinon, it would be more logical to combine Kerak with a Dead Sea trip and if you want to spend more time at each, stay in one of the hotels around the Dead Sea. However, suggest you make your reservations in advance.
