Ajloun is a city in northern Jordan dominated by the imposing Ajloun Castle, a 12th-century fortress built by a nephew of Saladin. Beyond the castle, the city is known for its terraced olive groves and bustling markets where locals sell olive oil, soap, and handicrafts. Visitors can wander through the old town's narrow streets, sample local cuisine, and enjoy the cooler climate of the surrounding highlands.
