The
old capital of Jordan
This
ancient town was once the capital of Jordan. A half-hour drive northwest
from Amman transports you back in time to a town of picturesque streets
and dazzing houses from the late Ottoman period, with their characteristic
long-arched windows.
It's the ideal place for admiring the architecture,
stopping off at the small museum, and finishing up at Salt Zaman, a lovely
restored old buildng in the heart of the town, charmingly furnished with
antiques and handicrafts.
Salt also houses a Handicrafts School where you can admire traditional
skills of ceramics, weaving, silkscreen printing, and dyeing.
