Thanx Buj, yes the Museum is there, at King Hussein Park next to the big new mosque

It’s quite an interesting museum, it holds an awesome group of cars and motorbikes (classic and new) that used to belong to King Hussein.

hi Samer,
I went for the firstest time to Amman 2 weeks ago. You have such a beautiful beautiful country, it’s great. I been to Lebanon before so beirut was my only standard. However you guys are much more civilised I have to say. Although Lebanese driving is more fun

my bro is a car nut, so we went there but i never went into the museum, damn, next time i’ll go to see it.. i went to mecca mall, and boy it’s a weird experience!!! lots of goodies inside though, well-protected
