These sites are famous for their unique blend of civilizations, ranging from Romans and Byzantines to the Arab-Islamic one.

You will first stop at one of the most important and largest Crusader Castles in the Levant region: Crac Des Moabites (locally known as Karak Castle). This 12th-century castle was mostly under the direct control of fighting Crusaders during the Holy Wars, serving as an important stronghold.
