Kerak is a city in Jordan known for being the site of an ancient Crusader fortress, surrounded by the ancient city walls, on top of a high hill.

Although the history of the place dates back to the biblical period, the current castle was built in the 12th century, and the construction techniques of the Crusaders are still visible, complemented by the additions of the Arabs.
