The Old Village Resort

The Old Village Resort in Petra (formerly Beit Zaman Hotel) is a unique property created from the ruins of a Jordanian Village that was inhabited until the 1970s. This charming hotel is imbued with a distinct local flavor and is located in the hills above Petra, offering breathtaking panoramic views of the Shara Mountains.

When the village was restored and repurposed, great care was taken to preserve the original features and maintain its rustic feel. The buildings were crafted from locally sourced stone, and the main village square remains a focal point. Guests can enjoy a stroll along cobbled lanes past olive presses and ancient millstones to reach their destinations.

The Old Village Resort features 136 rooms and suites arranged around pathways and courtyards, beautifully adorned with gardens and fountains. Each ensuite room has a unique layout and has been decorated to reflect the history and culture of the area as well as to showcase local handicraft skills.

All rooms are ensuite and have Wi-Fi access, tea and coffee-making facilities, television, air-conditioning, a safety deposit box, and a minibar.

Leisure facilities include a restaurant offering international and local dishes, a lounge area with a bar where tea, coffee, and soft drinks are available during the day, and an indoor swimming pool.

Guests considering a stay at The Old Village Resort in Petra should be aware that it is necessary to negotiate lots of polished stone stairs.
