Historic Old Salt Museum, Ottoman heritage museum in Salt, Jordan.

This museum occupies a yellow sandstone building from the Ottoman period and displays regional artifacts, traditional clothing, and household items from Salt. The spaces reveal how residents organized their domestic and commercial lives.

Salt became a major trading hub between 1865 and 1925, when merchants and families prospered through commerce. This growth is documented in the museum through photographs, written records, and business papers from that era.

The displays reveal how Muslim and Christian residents shared daily life and traditions within the same spaces. Objects on view show the practical ways both communities used similar customs and tools.

The museum stands in the centre of Al-Salt, overlooking the city's commercial district, and covers about 1,242 square metres across three floors. The ground floor holds the visitor centre, a study centre and a temporary exhibition hall; the permanent galleries on the first floor cover the city's history and geography, and the second floor is devoted to cultural and architectural themes and daily life. A children's hall, created in 2006, offers compact discs and leaflets on the artefacts.

The ground floor held the family's madafa, a reception room for guests and banquets, alongside a grain store and a stable for animals and guest carriages. The madafa was later repaved with 30 × 30 cm tiles in black, yellow, pink and natural stone.
