Shobak — popularly known as Montreal Castle — is standing on a high and craggy hill and it is one of the most attractive among the Crusader-era sites in Jordan. Built in the early 12th century by Baldwin, King of Jerusalem, the Shobak Castle is a mighty representation of the Middle Ages, on the top of which, Great Rift Valley and Jordanian desert are spread out.
Travelers can walk through the castle’s old paths, discover hidden tunnels, and ascend towers, while hearing the stories of wars and treaties that have influenced the region's history. Apart from the historical fortress, Shobak is enveloped by charming villages, fruit farms, and quiet hills, which together give the visitors a calm look at the rural part of the Jordanian place.
Not only history buff but also adventure starers will find Shobak a very interesting place, as it offers a unique combo of heritage, nature, and narration, which in turn makes it an obligatory stop on the King’s Highway that connects Karak and Petra.
