Tips from the community
As-Salt- The Place of Tolerance and Urban Hospitality. This city was built over three closely-spaced hills and has historically been a thriving center of fortune attracting new settlers far and wide. A symbol of non-segregation, the city was home to both Muslims and Christians who were hospitable and welcoming towards each other. A beautiful destination that is steeped in a friendly and fortunate history, and spectacular culture that intertwines aspects from across the map.
