These larger-than-life figures, crafted from steel, car parts, and repurposed materials, have turned an ordinary roadside into an open-air art gallery that has captivated locals and visitors alike.

From Scrap to Sculpture

This transformation didn’t happen overnight. What was once a dumping ground has now become a street-side exhibition of creativity. Talented local artists took discarded metal and turned it into art—creating massive figures of cars, human-like statues, and even Transformer-style robots. One of the most remarkable pieces is a miniature model of Al-Quds (Jerusalem), carefully crafted to showcase one of the most significant landmarks in the region.

An Artistic Landmark in Zarqa

This roadside art installation has quickly become a local sensation. People stop by just to admire the impressive craftsmanship, take photos, and appreciate the fact that such creativity is thriving in a place not typically known for public art. At night, strategically placed lights enhance the sculptures, making them stand out even more against the city backdrop.

Community-Driven Creativity

The most inspiring part? This wasn’t a government-funded project or a corporate initiative. It was the passion and hard work of local artists who wanted to turn an overlooked area into something meaningful. Their dedication has sparked conversations about urban beautification and the potential of transforming other neglected areas across Jordan.

This unexpected gallery at Duwar Al-Dallah has set an example for other cities in Jordan. If a pile of discarded metal can become a landmark, what else can be done to revive public spaces? Whether in Zarqa, Amman, or beyond, initiatives like this one show that a little creativity can go a long way.
