Visitor Testimonials
A truly amazing experience; as a motorhead, it was well worth it. Wouldn't like to guess the value of the cars. Amazed at the number of classics.
Brilliant place and I would definitely recommend you all visit if you are in Amman. My wife, who is not a car fan, enjoyed herself as each car had a placard that was loaded with history.
