The Royal Automobile Museum is an automobile museum in Amman, Jordan.

History

Located next to the Al Hussein [Public Parks], the museum was established in 2003 upon King [Abdullah II of Jordan|King Abdullah]'s wishes. The museum showcases a rare collection of Jordan's vehicles ranging from Hussein bin Ali's cars that came to Amman in 1916 to modern sports cars.
The museum has the rover used in filming of Cinema of [the United States|Hollywood]'s movie The Martian, which used Jordan's UNESCO world heritage site Wadi Rum as the backdrop for the Martian scenes. The rover was gifted to Jordan in return for the hospitality with which Jordan extended to the movie cast and crew.
