JORDAN

Harmony Trail in the City of Salt

The Harmony Trail is the ideal walking tour for spiritual experiences in Jordan – giving a feel of the interreligious harmony and coherence within the neighbourhoods of As-Salt. 

As-Salt is known for its sense of unity and community, which is reflected in the long-standing mosques and churches that peacefully stand side by side. While on the trail, keep an eye out for Islamic and Christian symbols and inscriptions that are infused within the architecture of old homes and houses of worship.
