The marvels of nature and the genius of medieval Arab military architecture have given northern Jordan two of the most important ecological and historical attractions in the Middle East: the sprawling pine forests of the Ajlun-Dibbine<\/strong> area, and the towering Ayyubid castle at Ajlun, which helped to defeat the Crusaders 8 centuries ago. Ajlun Castle<\/strong> (Qal\u2019at Ar-Rabad) was built by one of Saladin\u2019s generals in 1184 AD to control the iron mines of Ajlun, and to deter the Franks from invading Ajloun. Ajloun Castle dominated the 3 main routes leading to the Jordan Valley and protected the trade and commercial routes between Jordan and Syria; it became an important link in the defensive chain against the Crusaders, who, unsuccessfully spent decades trying to capture the castle and the nearby village. <\/p>\n The castle<\/strong> was conceded in the 13th century to Salah ed-Din Yousef Ibn Ayoub, ruler of Aleppo and Damascus, who restored the northeastern tower. These expansion efforts were interrupted in 1260 AD, when Mongol invaders destroyed the castle, but almost immediately, the Mameluk Sultan Baybars re-conquered and rebuilt the fortress. <\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\t<\/div> \n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The marvels of nature and the genius of medieval Arab military architecture have given northern Jordan two of the most important ecological and historical attractions in the Middle East: the sprawling pine forests of the Ajlun-Dibbine area, and the towering Ayyubid castle at Ajlun, which helped to defeat the Crusaders 8 centuries ago.

Die urspr\u00fcngliche Burg hatte 4 T\u00fcrme, Pfeilschlitze, die in die dicken W\u00e4nde integriert waren, und war von einem Graben umgeben, der durchschnittlich 16 m breit und bis zu 15 m tief war.
1215 n. Chr. erweiterte der Mameluk-Offizier Aibak ibn Abdullah die Burg nach dem Tod von Usama, indem er einen neuen Turm in der s\u00fcd\u00f6stlichen Ecke und eine Br\u00fccke hinzuf\u00fcgte, die immer noch mit Taubenreliefs geschm\u00fcckt ist.<\/p>\n
Wenn Sie ein Fernglas haben, bringen Sie es mit nach Jordanien. Sie werden nicht nur die abwechslungsreiche Tierwelt in den Naturschutzgebieten, sondern auch die fantastische Aussicht von Orten wie Ajloun zu sch\u00e4tzen wissen.
Zehn Salah ed-Din-Soldaten bewachen das Schloss jeden Tag der Woche. Sie befinden sich auf den 4 verschiedenen Torebenen, die das Schloss hat. Zwei sind auf dem Dach, wo der gelbe Mamluk fliegt. Belagerungsleitern, die sich an die Wand lehnen, tragen zur kriegerischen Atmosph\u00e4re bei.<\/p>\n
