Crusade Fortresses & Mt Nebo

Visited 2 "well preserved/restored" fortress built by crusaders in the mid-12th century. Top pic is Ashopak fortress & center pic is Al Karak fortress built in 1181 AD.
Also visited Mt Nebo (bottom pic) where Moses is believed to be buried. From vantage point on Mt Nebo you can see Jerusalem, Jericho, & Bethlehem!
I am now in Wadi Moses where Moses' brother Aaron is buried. I didn't know that Moses stuttered & his brother Aaron was his "interpreter"!
