Places

Splendid yellow sandstone buildings incorporate a variety of local and European styles.
This old historic town was the administrative capital of Jordan during the time of the Ottoman. Salt is located only 35 km outside of Amman.
This old historic town was the administrative capital of Jordan during the time of the Ottoman. Salt thrived because of its trade networks in the late 19th and early 20th centuries but when Amman was chosen as the new capital of Jordan, Salt began to decline. Today, not much has changed. Thankfully there has not been a lot of modernization and the traditional and splendid yellow stone buildings (incorporating a variety of local and European styles) with their long arched windows and iron work survive as a reminder of the Ottoman days. Now, around 30% of the population is Christian.
