It was built between 1892 and 1906 AD during the Ottoman era by Abu Jaber family, a family of the most notable merchants of that period. The house is distinguished by the architectural style that characterizes many Al-Salt buildings in the 19th century. It is built of yellow stone and is characterized by its beautiful decorations and drawings. Abu Jaber House was inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2021 as part of As-Salt - The Place of Tolerance and Urban Hospitality.
