Photos of Syria and Jordan: Krak des Chevaliers

This is a collection of photos taken in April 2009 showing Krak des Chevaliers, a well-preserved medieval crusader castle located between the city of Homs (or Hims) and the Syria-Lebanon border. Krak des Chevalier can be visited easily by rental car on a day trip from Hama. (However, you will probably need a GPS device and plan the route in advance, as there are virtually no road sings pointing to the castle.)
