Next to the entrance to the Burnt Palace, the National Society for the Preservation of Madaba and its Suburbs has a necessarily long sign and friendly staff. The organisation aims to preserve Madaba's heritage, with a particular focus on protecting the architectural and historical integrity of the old houses around town. It is partly funded by the sale of maps, books and souvenirs from its shop. Opening hours are erratic.
