As-Salt Harmony Trail Excursion
We'll pick you up from your hotel in Amman at 8 am and head west towards As-Salt, a picturesque town perfect for discovering the melting pot of cultures that coexist in Jordan.
Upon arrival, we'll start a guided tour of As-Salt, where we'll learn about the different Islamic and Christian symbols and inscriptions that appear in the architecture of the city's houses and places of worship. During this walking tour, we'll visit the Al Khader (St. George) Orthodox Church and the Great Mosque, two of the most remarkable sites in As-Salt.
We'll also discuss some of the most important episodes in As-Salt's history, including its role as the regional capital of the Ottoman Empire and the reasons behind its societal sense of unity and community.
As a highlight, we'll visit the As-Salt lookout point, offering views of the Sea of Galilee (Lake Tiberias), Tur Mountain, and Golan Heights.
