Timeless...

Let time sweep you away. Even the most seasoned world travelers may find themselves utterly mystified by the Petra Beit Zaman. Just imagine the sheer wonder of the experience, often likened to taking a step far back in history while simultaneously moving toward the future. Located on the site of an authentic 19th Century village in Wadi Musa, known as Khirbet Al Nawafleh, Beit Zaman is today a superior resort overlooking the rose-red mountains of Petra, aptly recognized as one of the New Seven Wonders of the World.

The style of the village homes of Khirbet Al Nawafleh’s original inhabitants is strikingly evident. Each of the resort’s 129 village-house rooms, including 11 junior suites, 18 connected rooms, and one grand Royal Suite, is an amazing mix of a rich, ancient tradition with stunningly contemporary comforts. All of the restful, climate-controlled rooms feature spacious sitting areas, private baths, satellite television, direct-dial telephone service, amply-stocked mini-bars, and in-room safe-deposit boxes.

Beit Zaman’s grounds are truly a feast for the eyes, with original olive presses and a roman aqueduct from long ago surrounded by a vibrant vineyard and lush olive, fig, and citrus trees. Original stone village homes and buildings stand harmoniously side-by-side with recently built structures. A private courtyard invites guests to enjoy awe-inspiring views of Petra, as the tranquil aromas of Narjileh and tea waft through the air.

An exceptional restaurant with terrace views of Petra’s mountains, a bountiful bakery, and a diwan serving local drinks provide round-the-clock sustenance and activities for touring guests, while the fine ballroom and banquet facilities can service a variety of entertaining and conference needs for groups of up to 400 guests. Following a full day of sightseeing, guests can wholeheartedly enjoy a refreshing swim in the soothing heated indoor pool, complete with an outdoor solarium, a rejuvenating jacuzzi, and a snack bar. Traditional Jordanian souvenirs abound at ArtiZaman, the resort’s handicraft souk.

The resort is equipped with modern amenities, including a business center with computers, photocopier and facsimile available for use, as well as audio-visual equipment. Further services include valet assistance, car park, and an in-house laundry.

A visit to Beit Zaman would not be complete without a visit to the archaeological sites within the village to view artifacts from the Nabatean, Roman, and Islamic eras, which were discovered during the construction of the resort and fittingly preserved.

To be sure, Beit Zaman epitomizes antiquated modernity at its finest.

An experience to last a lifetime…

Just two kilometers east of the Visitor Center at the entrance to the Nabatean rose-red city of Petra, and only 95 kilometers north of Aqaba, Beit Zaman is the perfect setting in which to create an unforgettable memory.

Much more than a place to rest, so much more than an ordinary hotel, the Petra Beit Zaman is an invitation to the 19th Century…through the eyes of the 21st Century. Sound impossible? Well, timing is everything at Beit Zaman.
