Excursion Overview
As-Salt is a charming town in western Jordan that is steeped in history and culture. The town is located on a hilltop, offering breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape. As-Salt has a rich history, dating back to the Ottoman Empire, and is known for its well-preserved historic buildings and traditional architecture. Visitors can explore the narrow streets and alleyways of the town, which are lined with historic houses, artisan shops, and local cafes. The town also has several interesting museums and cultural centres, including the As-Salt Archaeological Museum and the Abu Jaber Museum, which showcases the life and works of the renowned Jordanian author, Jabra Ibrahim Jabra. As-Salt is a great destination for those who want to experience the authentic culture and heritage of Jordan, away from the more touristy areas of the country.

We recently returned from a super holiday to Jordan, organised by Ian at Holiday Architects, and would not hesitate to recommend them. They organised (and re-organised) our schedule to include everywhere we wanted to go. We were so well looked after, from the moment our flight landed in Amman to when we checked in for our return flight. It was a memorable holiday. Thank you Jordan and Holiday Architects.

Had a fabulous week in Jordan thanks to Catherine from Holiday Architects. The itinerary was well planned with lots to see and do, but without feeling rushed at any point. We were well looked after by everyone right from arriving at the airport in Jordan to going the other way to come home. Jordan is a beautiful country with lovely people. We felt safe the whole time with no sign of any issues. So much history to learn about and amazing old cities to explore. A big thank you to Catherine for planning and organising a great holiday. I highly recommend Holiday Architects and look forward to my next adventure.
