This vibrant city is located northwest of the capital, Amman, and rises on three main mountains: Jabal al-Qalaa, Jabal al-Jada’a, and Jabal al-Salam, surrounded by stunning natural scenery. The city of Salt has an attractive traditional heritage character that contrasts with the splendor of modernity and contemporaneity in the city of Amman. The city extends over mountain peaks and embraces an authentic community dominated by passion, brotherhood and love. This mountain city has a distinguished history, as Salt was the capital of the Ottoman Empire in the region.
