Jordan: Madaba, Jerash, and Amman

Making our way north, again, we visited Kerak castle, which had been built by a coalition of European crusaders.  Some sections had more ventilation shafts than necessary, likely as a way for factions to spy on each other.  Existing Nebataean carved blocks, as well as Roman columns were re-used in the construction, which makes for some odd-looking walls.
