Description


Al-Salt is located in Jordan
Al-Salt (Arabic: السلطAs-Salt — pronounced Es-Sult or Es-Salt) is an ancient agricultural city and administrative centre in west-central Jordan. It is on the old main highway leading from Amman to Jerusalem. Situated in the Balqa highland, about 790–1,100 metres above sea level, the city is built in the crook of three hills, close to the Jordan Valley. One of the three hills, Jabal al-Qal'a, is the site of a 13th-century ruined fortress. It is the capital of Balqa Governorate.
