Royal Tank Museum

The Royal Tank Museum is the first specialised tank museum in Jordan and one of the only tank museums in the world. It is situated within the King Abdullah II Park in Amman. Built under the orders of King Abdullah, it houses over 140 tanks and other military vehicles that are displayed in chronological order across thirteen halls. Visitors can also play the World of Tanks online action game in the museum’s gaming area.

 Some of its other exhibits include trucks, jeeps, motorbikes, personnel carriers, etc., some of which were used in Jordan’s military conflicts. The exhibits are interactive and provide ample information on the different military equipment displayed here and Jordan’s past wars. There is also an actual sectionised tank here that allows visitors to know its interiors and the amount of space crew members usually have. They can also climb onto three other tanks and take pictures. Different military vehicles and historical tanks are driven across the museum track, which is open to visitors each summer. In addition, guided tours for groups and individuals are offered at the museum.
