Hejaz Railway Museum, Amman Overview
The Hejaz Railway Museum in the Al Mahatta district of Amman is a former railway station now converted into a museum. It displays a decked Royal Carriage and over 200 exhibits, including murals providing information about the development of the railway line and its history. There are also engine sheds and old locomotives here.
The Hejaz Railway Line was built in the 20th century under the directives of the Ottoman Sultan Abdul Hamid II. The run-down tracks exist even today, and along the line are a few abandoned coaches. The line was once used to ferry pilgrims from Damascus (Syria) to Amman (Jordan) and then to Medina (Saudi Arabia). Now abandoned, the station lies about 2.5 km east of the Roman Theater.
