Old City of Salt Jordan
Salt Jordan
Not on the map of standard Jordan tours is the town Salt, 30 minutes drive from Amman. A half day tour visit is worth it and shows, especially in comparison to Amman, another part of history and atmosphere, characterized by Ottoman architecture. In the city centre many houses are built from yellow stone with long arched windows. Best to start at Abu Jaber House, this late 19th century building houses the Historic Old Museum. You get to know about history and culture of Salt, and see the room, where Prince Abdullah Bin Al Hussein, the founder of Jordan, spent the night. The museum is able to provide a brochure about the Salt Heritage Trail, 7 kms long, so you know which directions to take. Following mainly alleys passing by the highlights of the heritage buildings and small shops, you discover what makes Salt different. Downer at that day, in and around Hammam Street was a lots of litter. Hope this was an exemption as this spoils the experience. Along the Heritage Trail you find beside the Historic Old Museum (Abu Jaber House) the Archaeological Museum (Touqan House), fee is 2 JD each, both are closed on Tuesdays and public holidays.
