As Sala Heritage Village

Nestled in Jordan’s Tafila Governorate, As-Sala Heritage Village is an abundant Ottoman-era settlement that offers a unique glimpse into traditional rural life. Dating back to the Ottoman period, the village is characterised by its stone-built houses, narrow alleys, and terraced fields, reflecting the architectural style and agricultural practices of the time.

Visitors can explore centuries-old homes, olive presses, and water channels, which highlight the village’s historical importance as an agricultural hub. The village is surrounded by stunning landscapes, including olive groves, orchards, and rugged mountains, making it a perfect destination for heritage tourism and eco-tourism. Today, efforts are underway to preserve As-Sala as a cultural landmark, showcasing Jordan’s rich Ottoman heritage and traditional way of life.
