  1. A

    Jordan Natural History Museum

    JordanNatural History Museum is one of two museums in the grounds of the vast Yamouk University. Both domestic and foreign visitors are welcome. The museum contains a range of stuffed animals, birds and insects, as well as rocks from the region, but very little is explained in English. It’s good for birders, with some beautiful bee-eaters and rollers on display. The museum is in the huge green hangar No 23.
