Itinerary description
https://jordantrail.org/route-stages-maps/4-rasoun-to-ajloun-castle/
Generally easy walking today, often on country lanes through the rural villages of Al Ayoun with opportunities for a pre-arranged lunch in one of Al Ayoun’s homestays. RSCN’s Soap House and Calligraphy house are also nearby for an interesting visit. Then the walk meanders over increasingly high semi-forested hills and past the ruins of the ancient church of Mar Elyas to the Islamic castle of Ajloun on its dominating hilltop with a Visitor Centre, cafés and hotels (currently rather mediocre) in the town below.

Hice la ruta en sentido inverso y me fue de gran ayuda en ciertos puntos negros de señalización , aunque en general está bien señalizada.
