As-Salt: The City of Tolerance

As-Salt: the UNESCO-listed Ottoman hill town of golden houses and harmonious faiths.

As-Salt, Jordan's newest UNESCO World Heritage Site, is an Ottoman hill town of golden limestone houses, grand merchants' mansions and mosques, churches and springs shared peacefully for centuries — 'the city of tolerance'.

Its stairs and viewpoints reward an unhurried visit. Travellers who hire car & driver in Jordan reach it in 40 minutes from Amman, and full package tours to Jordan increasingly include it.
