A private showing.
Between trips to Petra, we visited another less intact crusader castle. Molly and Caitlin had already explored it prior to my arrival in Jordan so they relaxed in the car as I checked the place out. It’s a little bit eerie to be the only person walking around ruins… especially when there are plenty of hidden corners.
Shobak was the first crusader castle in Jordan, however much of what remains dates back to a later period when Muslims gained control of the structure. Like these Quaranic inscriptions, for example.
It’s always amazing to me what remains from the past… and how so much of the world just lets you climb all over it.
