As-Salt
On 27 July 2021, the Committee of UNESCO inscribed the city of As-Salt on the World Heritage List, highlighting it as "Place of tolerance and urban hospitality".
As-Salt’s greatest prosperity was in the late 19th century when wealthy Nablus traders settled here. They built large and elegant houses on the steep slopes of the main wadi that bisects the town, using the distinctive local yellow limestone. When Amir ‘Abdullab chose ‘Amman as his capital the- fortunes of As-Salt declined. But its charming architecture remains, and the air of a quiet country town; and the houses (as seen by an early traveler) still rise ‘one above another like a succession of steps and terraces’
