Left Madaba heading down the Kings Highway to Dana where we were staying a couple of nights. On the way drove through what is known as the Jordan grand canyon. Absolutely vast.
Views from Karak castle to spot invading armies. Full on tunnels, water cisterns. 200 steps down through the centre of castle take one to the water source if foolish enough as 700 year old steps mot known for their integrity.
Our salubrius accommodation at Dana. A village they are promoting on the edge of the Biosphere where we start our hike for three days. Room was like a hot cave with no outside window ala air movement.
Shabruk village nearby we spent time watching the local falafel shop owner turning out the mornings orders at incredible speed while we drank tea and chatted as best as one can to his Arabic customers. Carried on to the nearby Byzantine castle which again was used as a protectorate.
