The authentic Martian Rover is the spaceship from the 2015 film, the Martian, which stared Matt Damon and Jessica Chastain. The movie was filmed in Jordan’s astonishing Wadi Rum area. Thus, the producers gifted it to the Royal Automobile Museum, and it is the only one in the world. It actually works on a diesel engine, and the steering wheel as well as the doors work hydraulically. Some say that due to the Jordan law that used to impose custom charges on spaceships, it was gifted to the museum. 

You won’t believe that the museum actually has a replica of the first car ever officially presented to the world. It is a replica of the first car that was manufactured by Karl Benz in 1886, and Karl Benz is known for inventing the first car ever. The car was driven in 1888 by his wife, Bertha Benz, who was the first woman to drive an automobile and went on the first long-distance drive in the history of automobiles.

One of the most beautiful cars that your eyes may land on is the Mercedes SLR Mclaren Stirling Moss, which belongs to the Royal collection. The production of this car was limited to only 75 units in the whole world. This car has a supercharged 5.4L V8 that produces 641HP and 820Nm of torque. Another iconic Mercedes in the collection is the 1970 Mercedes- Benz 600 Grosser Pullman, the German manufacturer’s biggest and most luxurious.

• Cadillac Type 53 1916: It is the oldest car in the collection of the museum, which as I said contains many car of the royal collection. This Cadillac belonged to Shariff Hussein bin Ali al-Hashimi who initiated the Great Arab Revolt in 1916 against Ottoman Empire, leading to the creation of Jordan and other Arab countries. The Cadillac Type 53 1916 has a 5.1L Inline-4 engine that produces 77HP and 244Nm of torque, and the engine is started manually through a box in the front. 
• The very rare Rolls Royce IV: it is such a rare classic car. Only 17 were made, handcrafted, and the one in the museum was specifically made for the coronation of Faisal II of Iraq in 1953. The car was transported to the Museum when the latter was opened in 2003.
• A great collection of Aston Martins: King Hussein bought an Aston Martin 1953 car when he was studying in England, and he was only 16 back then. He got it before he had been crowned king. He also owned an Aston Martin DB5, the one we saw in James Bond movies. Only 1025 units of the Aston Martin DB5 were made. Another Aston Martin that as bought by King Hussein when he was in London is the Aston Martin DB2, the second iteration of the luxurious DB series.
• Buick Roadmaster 1949: A beautiful classic owned by King Abdullah II and it was really one of the most beautiful cars made in the 40s with its chrome accents and luxurious interior. The one in the museum looks gorgeous with its cream interior and its dark red eye-catching exterior.
• A car that can swim: one of the most amazing car in the museum is King Hussein’s 1966 Amphicar. This one was the first car that can cruise on land and operate in the water. It wasn’t a good performer; it could only operate on still water. However, King Hussein managed to cruise it in the sea and surprise his guests at Aqaba with it, giving them a tour of Jordan’s coastline.

One of the best sounding cars in the world and one of the most iconic is the Porsche Carrera GT. It has a 5.7L V10 that produces a huge power of 603HP and 590Nm of torque, connected to a 6-speed manual transmission. It is one of the King Abudullah II’s favorite cars. The car has been spotted before roaming between Jordan’s streets before it has been put in the museum. 

Beside the Carrera GT, you'll find many other classic Porsche 911 cars. Add to that, there's a Bugatti Veyron, and the iconic BMW M1, the one that has a great history with BMW M power. At the end of the museum, you'll end your day with rally cars, which the king himself and his father used in rally races. Two beatuiful red ferraris, A Ferrari F50 and a Ferrari F40, also take place together at the exhibition. 

King Hussein had a great passion for cars, but his passion didn’t only concern cars. It also includes motorcycles, and the Royal Automobile Museum contains his impressive bikes collection. His motorcycles collection includes a beautiful Harley-Davidson in black and red, and it’s displayed in the Museum as well. In other words, the museum is not only a place for car enthusiasts but also for motorcycles enthusiasts; there, you’ll find King Hussein’s big collection of motorcycles. If you go in depth, you’ll also find royal ambulance motorcycles. You’ll also find a 1-of-1 Lamborghini Type Reventon bike.
