  • 3/5 Mohammad Q. 3 years ago on Google • 128 reviews
    An old house that was built in the late 19th century / early 20th century, when King Abdullah the first the founder of the Jordanian Hashemite kingdom first came to Jordan from Hijaz, he lived in this house as a guest until his residence was prepared, it was turned to a museum when he first came to the Kingdom from Hijaz, this three-story building that was owned by a wealthy merchant and turned into a museum in the 21st century is not well used, it contains very few artifacts/furniture on exhibit. It is a nice place to visit if you are in the area, but I wouldn’t recommend taking a special trip to see it, it is not worth it.

    Historic Old Salt Museum Built for the Abu Jaber family between 1896 and 1905 by the architect Abdel Rahman al Aqrouq, the Abu Jaber House is the finest heritage building in As-Salt, and one of the most significant architectural icons of Jordan. Since 2010 it houses the Historic Old Salt Museum which recounts the history of the city in its Golden Age, between the end of the 19th century and the 1930s

    One of the museums that deserves to seen. Free entry. Brochures are available. Souvenirs near by. Not suitable for elderly or wheelchairs. The building itself is beautiful, historical, and wonderful with its small staircases, halls,building stones and the big numbers of rooms. A lot of information about SALT Town and Jordan in general. A must seen museum. Most attractions in Salt are walking distance.

    A small museum in the centre of the beautiful old city of As-Salt. Built in the late 19th century and it has coloured glasses on its windows. There is a information office at its entrance with souvenir shops near it. You can get a detail discription and location map of the historic buildings in the area. The first of which is this museum. Its a small yet sweet place. Not much to see but as a whole salt has a beautiful experience to offer. All of the sites to see are just walking distance from this museum. Not far from Ammam. A perfect place to visit for a weekend trip.

    To be honest the expositions, unless you are really into ethnology, will not blow you away. However the building is beautiful, the views over the old town great, and it is free. You will invest some time and understand a bit better the history and relative importance of As-Salt

  • 5/5 farah s. 5 years ago on Google • 17 reviews
    One of the most popular places in Al-Salt. A small heritage museum full of cultural information about the city. A fantastic view from the outdoor terrace overlooking the old city of Al-Salt. The whole visit takes between 30 mints to 1 hour. There’s no place to park your car, and the area is so crowded.

  • 5/5 Jim B. 5 years ago on Google
    The Abu Jaber museum is an architectural marvel set in the center of Salt. The architect who designed the building, Abdel Rahman al Aqrouq, did so in the Nabulsi tradition that says a lot about interaction between the two towns. The museum explains all this detail and the history of the town in general, which is a reminder of why it’s worth visiting Salt in the first place. Going back to the building it was built in the late 19th / early 20th Century and has a combination of classic and modern features. Visit Salt if you can (short distance outside Amman) and visit this building when you do.
