Museum presents regional history in unique environment

Worth a visit if you also planning to see Lot's Cave or the nearby Sugar Mills (Tawaheen as Sukkar) The museum has a wide range of artifacts on display presented chronologically from prehistory to Nabataean, Byzantine and Islamic times. Things you won't see anywhere else include a Nabataean burial, material associated with Lot's Cave, painted gravestones which feature the days of the week, and a bronze cauldron used to boil sugar in Medieval times. There's a small cafe with a few drinks and snacks as well as public bathrooms.

    Small but still worth visiting
    Firstly, the entry is free for those having Jordan pass. Children can enter for free along with adults. Museum is very small but very interesting. Quite basic and rough museum with some interesting artifacts and decent information about history of Dead Sea valley. Can visit if passing by the Dead Sea Highway.

    If you're passing
    This is a small museum you would pass if you are driving from Petra to the dead sea and if you are passing pop in. The exhibits give the history of the people, the land and the dead sea - I wouldn't travel to this museum, I'd only pop in if passing
