Photograph at the Memorial Memorial

The Martyrs' Memorial in Amman, Jordan, stands as a significant commemoration and museum, situated adjacent to the Amman Sport City. Inaugurated by King Hussein in July 1977, its creation fulfilled his desire to honour those who gave their lives for Jordan. The museum's collection features a unique display of military equipment, uniforms, and vehicles, reflecting the nation's history.

This site particularly remembers the martyrs whose service began as early as 1915 with the Great Arab Revolt. The memorial welcomes around 70,000 visitors annually, offering free entry to everyone, serving as a place of reflection and remembrance for national heroes.
