The museum
Opened in 1977, the Martyrs’ Memorial is a national military museum and memorial interpreting the development of Jordan and its armed forces from the Great Arab Revolt onward.
The Martyrs’ Memorial adds an aviation layer to Jordan’s national military story. A Hawker Hunter and an AH-1F Cobra place two very different eras of Royal Jordanian Air Force equipment beside the museum’s broader narrative of service and commemoration.
What defines the collection
Jordanian military history, weapons, uniforms, memorial collections and preserved Royal Jordanian Air Force aircraft.
What to expect
Aircraft are supporting exhibits within a memorial and military-history complex rather than a dedicated aviation museum. The site is especially useful for visitors who want to connect aircraft types to Jordan’s wider armed-forces history.
What the museum holds
Two individually identified Royal Jordanian Air Force aircraft are documented at the museum by dated 2024 aviation photography
