The map
About this Karak City map poster
Karak City occupies a steep-sided plateau in southern Jordan, and the terrain dictates its shape. The old town fills the top of the hill, with lanes following the contours, while the ground drops away sharply into wadis on several sides. Newer districts spread along the ridges and roads that climb out of the valleys, so the map has a compact core with arms reaching outward.
At the southern tip of the old town stands Kerak Castle, one of the largest Crusader castles in the Levant, built in the twelfth century and later strengthened under Ayyubid and Mamluk rule. The town also lies on the historic King's Highway, the ancient route running north to south along the Jordanian highlands.
A Karak City map poster shows a place shaped by defence and topography: the tight old core, the castle's long outline at the point of the plateau, and roads winding down into the valleys. The monochrome style suits it, turning the dramatic relief into a graphic pattern of dense streets and empty slopes.

Plateau old town
Streets on the hilltop are closely packed and follow the edge of the plateau, giving the historic centre a compact, almost walled appearance.
Descending roads
Roads leave the hill in switchbacks and long curves toward the surrounding valleys, a visible record of how steep the ground around Karak is.

Why Karak City
A map that means something
Karak's castle draws travellers along the King's Highway, and families from the governorate carry strong ties to the town. A map of its hilltop plan is a distinctive piece for anyone who has walked the castle walls or grew up below them.
