Historic Old Salt Museum, Ottoman heritage museum in Salt, Jordan.
The Historic Old Salt Museum exhibits regional artifacts, traditional garments, and daily life objects within a yellow sandstone building from the Ottoman period.
Between 1865 and 1925, Salt developed into a major trading center, which the museum documents through photographs, manuscripts, and commercial ledgers.
The museum displays demonstrate the harmonious coexistence of Muslim and Christian communities through shared customs, traditions, and architectural elements.
Located thirty minutes from Amman by car, the museum offers guided tours in English and Arabic from Tuesday through Sunday.
The building features traditional Madafas, reception rooms where families maintain a centuries-old custom of hosting guests with coffee ceremonies.
