[4][5] The memorial was designed by an anonymous Jordanian architect, and the construction was carried out by the Royal Engineering Corps in collaboration with local companies.

[8] In 2014, the Museum underwent a two-year-long renovation mainly targeted towards the front and side courtyards, interior layout and journey sequencing, and the roof.

[7] The courtyard is an open, square, symmetric area primarily composed of white limestone; it serves as the lead to the main entrance.

A notable object on display is a Hawker Hunter warplane belonging to the Royal Jordanian Air Force that participated in the Battle of Samu in 1966.

Upon entering the museum, visitors are greeted with a wall displaying 23 badges for each warfare branch of the Jordanian Armed Forces (JAF).

[7] The first floor is themed ‘Land of Sacrifice and Struggle’; it features ten glass tombs, each with illuminated tombstones that have a martyr trait written on them, as well as old pictures of soldiers and military uniform/memorabilia displays throughout.

[citation needed] Just before the ramp leading to the second floor is reached, the entrance to the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier appears with a lofty archway decoration.

[13] This area dramatizes the dim ambience with black walls, and displays an illuminated word map with pins highlighting places where Jordanian martyrs have died.

[14] On the contrary, when the sun is overhead, the concrete shows its natural colors and engravings of verse 169 from Surat Al Imran become more visible.

[citation needed] Near the upper portion of the second level (where the ascension reaches its end), the ambience of the museum shifts with brighter light (including sunlight) and lighter hues of gray on the walls.
