Royal Automobile Museum, Automotive museum in Al-Jami'ah district, Jordan.
The Royal Automobile Museum displays classic cars, luxury vehicles, and motorcycles arranged across several exhibition halls dedicated to automotive history. The collection spans from earlier eras to modern times, showing how transportation and taste in vehicles have changed over the years.
Opened in 2003, the museum presents vehicles spanning from the reign of King Abdullah I through to King Abdullah II, tracing major shifts in the nation's political story. Each vehicle in the collection represents a different chapter in Jordan's development.
The collection features vehicles used during royal ceremonies, state visits, and diplomatic events that shaped the nation's public moments. These cars reveal how the monarchy has presented itself and conducted official affairs over the decades.
The museum sits in King Hussein Gardens near Medical City Street and welcomes visitors daily during regular daytime hours. Plan to spend a couple of hours walking through the halls and reading about each vehicle.
Among the royal limousines and diplomatic cars sits a 19th-century bicycle and a Bugatti sports car, creating an unexpected mix of transport across different eras. Video displays next to each piece explain what makes that particular vehicle historically or personally important.
