The most important value Salt has is its people. They are famous as pioneers since they have numerous 'First's in Jordan such as the first secondary school and the first hospital.

The purpose for holding this festival is to make the tourists experience Salt’s living heritage through various planned activities.

In this festival, local Salti people welcome you at home. They open their houses and show their treasures they are proud of. They will tell you stories related to their house, treasures and lifestyle. By visiting those houses in the town and communicating with local people, you will feel as if the whole town is a museum. "Allah Mhyeekom fe As-Salt”.
