Why You Should Visit AS-SALT, Jordan's Most Underrated City 🇯🇴 السلط

On my last day in Jordan I pay a visit to As-Salt from Amman. Perhaps the most underrated city in the country, the picturesque UNESCO listed former capital feels like a living museum of Ottoman architecture.

This video marks the end of the 2021 backlog of vlogs I've been uploading over the last few weeks. The good news is that I'm now pretty much up to date again. In just a couple of days time I'll be posting my first video from a new country and continent in 2022, so stay tuned. Likes and comments are as always, much appreciated. See you soon!

When I think of the kingdom of Jordan 🇯🇴 I think of the Bible, when our matriarch Abraham left his land of Mesopotamia modern day Iraq 🇮🇶 to the land promised by God to him, the tribe of his nephew Lot and the tribe of Abraham were nearly about to kill each other over their herds food, and Abraham decided that Lot would choose were him, his wife and children and their tribe in which direction they will go and so Lot headed east into the land of Moab across the river Jordan which is now modern day Jordan 🇯🇴 and also king David's grandmother was a Moabite woman. A lot of people in the west don't know that how surprising how many people in the kingdom speak fluent English and that the late kingdom Hussein married an English woman his son King Abdullah is half English half Jordanian. Anyways thanks for the video 📹, stay blessed my friend.

I'd say, from the looks of it, it's definitely a place I would visit ! I'd be surprised if it isn't a tourist destination for Jordanians ! It's so adorable. Nice discovery 👍

[@mitabhaumik9695]

Enjoyed your Jordan trip very much! Yes, although I wish you do a second trip to Jordan some day! Many other places like The Quiet UNESCO heritage town of Madaba full of Byzantine churches with EXQUISITE MOSAICS, buried ancient Roman temples, Mt Nebo, Ancient Girasa ( one of the best preserved Roman towns) built by emperor Hadrian, Aqaba, The Dead Sea, ......all are very well deserving sights in Jordan. You will see them I’m sure!

[@JasonBillamTravel]

I’m sure I’ll return in the future. Thanks for the tips though!

[@mitabhaumik9695]

@@JasonBillamTravel 👍👍

[@briantravelman]

I was thinking the same thing. I can't believe he was so close to Jerash and Aqaba and didn't visit either of them. Those places are far more interesting than this As-Salt city. I see nothing underrated here. He also missed a lot of stuff in Wadi Rum, and had a little bit of bad weather, and the poor lighting didn't show the Treasury in all its glory. He 100% needs to revisit Jordan. lol I love his content, and I know everyone has their own style, but sometimes I wish he would spend more time in one place and cover it thoroughly, instead of just spending a few days here and there. 30 days in Kenya, but only a few days in Jordan? Jordan is far more interesting than Kenya.

[@mitabhaumik9695]

@@briantravelman exactly! Madaba, Jerash, Mt Nebo, Dead Sea, Um Quais.....Lawrence of Arabia famous train attack location......so much he missed! I spent 10 days, and still could not see many Desert castles! Jordan is so rich in Early Christian, and Byzantine history! Definitely a true traveler should not miss those sites.

[@yishislassieswaiting4748]

My thoughts exactly, and there are so many FUN tour guides here - you really missed out on the WARM & FRIENDLY HOSPITABLE PERSONALITY of the Jordanian people. The gulf of Aqaba region has a lot of chill beauty and venues to offer besides diving. The real Mt Sinai is not far south in Saudi and Petra is the real "Mecca." Moses and children of Israel crossed over at Nuweiba beach on the Egyptian side & chariot wheels covered in coral there as well as Solomon's pillars on eithr side. You MUST come back again ater researching these things &; >

Looks they are pretty chill with the masks. How much are the PCR tests and availability? I was there in 2019 as it was shutting down. Would love to go back. Direct Flights from Chicago.

[@JasonBillamTravel]

They weren’t expensive. For my flight back to the UK I needed a PCR test and it was only around $30, compared to the UK that’s a bargain!

[@coffeygrinds]

[@stevenlapidus2902]

Jason, I have been watching your videos for awhile; yet another nice piece of work. Just curious, is it possible these days to cross from Jordan into Israel? I would presume that this would mean that land travel by way of the West Bank or Aqaba to Eilat would be open. Thanks.

[@JasonBillamTravel]

Hery Steven, I think it is possible. Maybe Aqaba will be the easiest place to cross from, as it's a touristy place.

1-2 days in Amman, a day to journey down to Petra, a full day at Petra, then 1-2 days at Wadi Rum. If you have time you can fit in a trip to the Dead Sea on your way back up to Amman. 1 week - 10 days depending on how much time you can spare.
