Do not asked me how to get there ... a friend of us was our guide during our stays in Amman. I am actually deeply impressed with the hospitality of Jordanian. About 3 weeks before we depart to Jordan, i did some research on the internet, tried to find a Jordanian user on my blogger page. Came out thid lady Dina from Jordan. I message her and asked her about recommendation places to go and things to do. She respond my e-mail and explained lots of thing. When we arrived in Amman, we never expected that she will come to see us. She came around with her husband and her daughter nearly every evening during our days in Amman, one of the evening she and her family took us to The Royal Automobile Museum.

The museum have from old cars to the latest ferrari and mercedez. To be honest me myself not a car person, but my husband enjoyed walking around the museum. They even displayed the car when King Hussein had one of the twelve assassination attempt.

It is said that the presents king of Jordan still using some of the car in special events. When he want to do so, he will just take on of them from the museum, and put it back when he finished with it.

I am not aware that this museum exist till Dina and her hubby took us there. As I said before, eventhough i am not a really car person i am really glad visited the place. After i came back and did some research i realized that this place is wellknown to the world.
Thanks to Shomali family who took us to this place. Truely a memorable outing.
