Memorial

Photograph at the Memorial Memorial

The Martyrs' Memorial, situated beside Amman Sport City in Jordan's capital, stands as a significant place of remembrance and a museum. Inaugurated by King Hussein in 1977, its creation fulfilled his personal desire. The memorial commemorates those who gave their lives for Jordan, tracing back to the Great Arab Revolt in 1915 and onward.

Inside, visitors can explore a remarkable collection of military artefacts from Jordan's history, including weapons, uniforms, and vehicles. Each year, around 70,000 people visit this site, which welcomes everyone regardless of nationality, offering free entry to all who wish to pay their respects and learn about the nation's past sacrifices.
