Salt-the City








Salt (السلط) is an ancient city on the northwest outside Amman, and was once a regional capital during the Ottoman Empire. A lot of buildings were built in this period and survive until now.

There are a lot of big and small buses running between Salt and Amman. It takes half an hour to reach this lovely ancient city. We walked around in the old town area, visiting Haman Street, mosques, churches, the Ottoman-period mansion Beit Abu Jaber and a local coffee house.
