Introducing Ajlun
Ajlun (or Ajloun) is another popular and easy day trip from Amman, and can be combined with a trip to Jerash if you set off early. In Ajlun town the mosque, just southwest of the main roundabout, has a minaret dating back some 600 years.

The highlight of the trip, however, is unquestionably the towering Qala'at ar-Rabad, 3km west of town. The countryside of pine forest and olive groves is good for hiking and is popular with picnicking locals in summer, when the surrounding hills are a few degrees cooler than the rest of Jordan. If possible, visit on a clear day - the views are superb.
