Unknown Soldier, Military memorial statue in Balqa Governorate, Jordan

The Unknown Soldier monument at Karameh features a bronze statue of a Jordanian soldier in full readiness, his gaze directed toward Palestine, standing atop a rough brown rock formation. Semicircular marble panels around it are inscribed with the names of Jordanian soldiers killed in the 1968 Battle of Karameh.

The monument was constructed in 1976 to commemorate soldiers who died during the Battle of Karameh in 1968. This battle remained a pivotal moment in Jordan's military history.

The bronze soldier's gaze is directed toward Palestine, and marble panels arranged in an arc around the rock carry the names of the Jordanian soldiers who died at Karameh. The monument is known as the Unknown Soldier or the Karameh Battle Memorial, and a small museum added in 2018 presents the course of the 1968 battle.

The monument stands in Southern Shuna, in Balqa Governorate, on the road toward the Karameh area. A small museum added in 2018 illustrates the course of the 1968 battle, so allow time for both the bronze statue and the exhibits. The marble panels curve around the figure in an arc, making the inscribed names easy to read on foot.
