AMMAN, Jordan (AP) — On a hilltop of the Jordanian capital, a museum with some of the world’s most unique cars and motorbikes recounts a century of the ruling Hashemite dynasty’s elegant lifestyle.

The Royal Automobile Museum was built in 2003 under instructions from King Abdullah II, specifically to pay tribute to the eventful life of his late father, Hussein, who died of cancer in 1999 after a 46-year reign.
