Royal Tank Museum, Military museum in Amman, Jordan
The Royal Tank Museum is a military museum in Amman housing tanks and armored vehicles from different nations. The collection shows how these machines evolved and changed over time.
The museum opened in 2018 and displays military equipment used by Jordan's armed forces since their establishment in the early 20th century. The collection traces the country's military development through the decades.
The museum's thirteen halls are organized chronologically, from World War I and World War II through the Arab-Israeli conflicts and the Gulf War. A dedicated hall presents local military industries, and each tank keeps its original color and army unit number. School groups follow interactive tours explaining tank history.
The museum sits in Amman and is reachable by public transport or private car. Plan to spend several hours exploring, and wear comfortable shoes for walking through the halls.
The museum's collection is displayed in thirteen halls, not fourteen. The building was designed by Jordanian architect Zaid Daoud, and its faceted form with diagonal beige cladding and a dark reflective band is visible from the outside. The museum also runs an outdoor arena where tanks and armored vehicles are demonstrated to the public.
