Royal Automobile Museum

Very clean organized cool museum, 5 stars all the way. Cars are rare, each car has a story that involves the late king Hussein Bin Talal (طيب الله ثراه). Some cars I lived old enough to see it in person when we lived in Dabouq close to Hashemiya palace. He had good taste in cars.

The Royal Automobile Museum in Amman was a truly enjoyable experience for me as an automobile enthusiast and admirer. The collection is impressive—not just in terms of the variety of vintage and modern vehicles, but also in how it reflects Jordan’s royal history and connection to automotive culture. From classic Rolls-Royces and rare motorcycles to cutting-edge concept cars, every exhibit is beautifully maintained and thoughtfully curated. What made the visit even more captivating was the storytelling—each car is tied to moments from King Hussein’s life and Jordan’s journey, adding a unique historical dimension. Whether you’re passionate about automotive design, motorsport history, or just appreciate well-crafted machines, this museum is a must-visit in Amman. Ticket price-10JD /person

Wonderful car collection from the Jordanian Royal Family! Old and new and everything in between! Highly recommend to visit if you’re into cars and automotive history!

The Royal Automobile Museum in Amman, Jordan, is a must-visit for anyone interested in cars, history, or Jordan’s royal heritage. Established in 2003 by King Abdullah II as a tribute to his father, King Hussein, the museum showcases over 80 vehicles, including rare classics, motorcycles, and modern sports cars, some dating back to 1909. Each car is impeccably maintained and accompanied by detailed historical context, photos, and multimedia that tie the vehicles to key moments in Jordan’s history, from royal processions to diplomatic gifts like a 1956 armored Cadillac from President Eisenhower. Highlights include the Mars Rover from The Martian, filmed in Wadi Rum, and iconic cars like the Ferrari F40 and Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren “Stirling Moss.” The museum’s air-conditioned, well-lit space in Al Hussein Public Parks makes it a comfortable visit, even in summer. The layout is intuitive, and the staff is welcoming, often greeting visitors with warm smiles. It’s not just for car enthusiasts—even non-gearheads will enjoy the storytelling, which offers a unique lens on Jordan’s modernization and royal legacy. I spent over an hour captivated by the blend of automotive craftsmanship and historical narratives. Entry is affordable at 5 JOD for tourists (3 JOD for residents), though the Jordan Pass isn’t valid. It’s open daily except Tuesdays from 10 AM to 7 PM, with free parking available. My only critique is the slightly remote location, so plan for a taxi or car. Overall, it’s a fascinating, well-curated experience that’s worth fitting into your Amman itinerary, whether you’re a car lover or just curious about Jordan’s past.

Amazing collection of classic and modern cars! A great mix of history, elegance, and culture. A must-visit in Amman — even if you're not a car lover!

An amazing museum that showcases vehicles mostly used by the Jordanian Royal family over the years; I.e. from King Abdullah I to today. The museum also has 2 vehicles used during the filming of one of the Star Wars movies in Wadi Rum. While the place is not very big, there are many vehicles on display, are displayed with elegance, and the walking paths between the vehicles is well-drawn. Tickets can be bought at the entrance by cash or card. Staff are very kind. Expect to spend anywhere between 30-60 minutes. Within walking distance are the Children’s Museum of Jordan, Prophet Mohammed Museum, and the King Abdullah II Mosque.

Very nice place to visit, but the price for non-jordanian people not suitable, it should be less, there are a lot of rare and great cars that every car lovers should see👌

Very nice and prestigeous place, contains a lot of royal cars
