    Vaux Moise Castle, or Wu’ayra Castle, is a small Crusader castle located close to Wadi Musa in Ma’an Governorate in Jordan. It was founded in the 12th century AD by Baldwin I of Jerusalem as an outpost of the larger Crusader castle at Montreal, and also to serve as a point to control the trade and military routes and pilgrimage caravans between the Levant, Egypt and the Hijaz.
