Hotel overview

The camp at Ajloun has an almost Alpine feel to it, thanks to the pine chalets that form part of the accommodation. There is a central building with the restaurant and ablution block, as well as a small shop, and then the chalets and tents are spread amongst the trees nearby. The tents are very basic and not for the faint-hearted, whilst the chalets offer a bit of luxury, with comfortable beds and ensuite bathrooms; each chalet also has a terrace for enjoying the views over the surrounding countryside and across the reserve.

Excursion

Ajloun Forest Rasoun Trail

The Rasoun Trail is a guided 2-3 hour walk over a distance of 7km. You begin at the visitor's centre of Ajloun Reserve and end in the village of Orjan. You hike through thick, healthy woodlands filled with oak, pistachio and oriental strawberry trees. The trail then takes you up to 1000m above sea level to Eagle's viewpoint giving you extensive views over the evergreen forest and surrounding villages. At the end of your hike, you may wish to return to the visitor centre where you can visit the soap house where local women follow the traditional process of making Orjan pure olive soap.

Excursion

Ajloun Castle

Ajloun Castle should form part of most visits to Jordan for several reasons. On a historic level it is one of very few Crusader-era castles built by the Arabs and not the European Crusaders, and so provides an interesting counterpoint to other castles you'll see on your trip like Kerak and Showbak. It's also in an attractive part of the country, offering views over wooded slopes and near the Ajloun Forest Reserve. But most of all, it reawakens childish excitement as it's a wonderful maze of vaulted ceilings, secret passages and fairy-tale towers and battlements.

Excursion

Ajloun Guided Trails

There are a number of guided trails available at Ajloun. The Roe Deer trail takes you on a self-guided circuit around the campsite passing the old stone wine press. The Orjan Village trail passes from forest to orchard and includes visits to traditional handicrafts shops. The Rasoun trail passes mainly through the oak forest leading to a viewpoint of 1000m above sea level. The trip can include a visit to the soap house, where local women use traditional processes to produce olive soap. The Prophet's Trail is perhaps the most interesting as it covers the forest landscape and the mosaics of the church at Mar Elias. You can extend this trail onto Ajloun Castle itself, passing by small farmhouses and their orchards and with the offering of extended views across the wooded valley.
