Beit Al Taybeh Guesthouse

Petra | Jordan

Salaam and Ahlan wa Sahlan in Beit Al Taybeh

Beit al Taybeh, meaning the House of Taybeh, is the family house to stay when visiting Petra (Jordan). It’s the place to be when you love the peace and quiet of nature and the coziness of an ancient family house with a secluded courtyard.

We offer you a unwinding stay, away from the hustle and bustle of Petra. Let us help you to de-stress and recharge in the calm breeze of the mountain wind, the chirping sounds of the birds and the vast view of the starry sky.

Families, couples and even small groups find their comfort zone in this six room guesthouse with authentic charm.

Perfect for a weekend outing from Amman, a recharching stay after your Jordan Trail hike or Jordan Trail bike tour or a calm stay during your Jordan journey and Petra visit.

The family house in Taybeh

Our Rooms

We offer six rooms in this authentic family house. The rooms are located on two levels around the cosy courtyard which you enter through the old wooden door. The house is built half way the last century.
At that time, the relatives shared the courtyard and the room to store the food for the animals and each family had their own room.They could take their animals down the hill to graze in the different valleys.

Our Restaurant

On the roof of the guesthouse we built a rooftop restaurant in the same style as the rest of the building. Here we serve the breakfast that is included in your stay.

Our guests, and other travellers who'd like to enjoy a local three course dinner, can enjoy the food and the view over Wadi Batha, Sabra and Tibn.

We love to share this beautiful place with our guests and are very happy when they share their experience. This is what they wrote:

"La maison se situe dans un village tout proche de Petra. Son emplacement est idéal pour visiter la région sans être dans un lieu trop touristique. La cour intérieure est charmante, la chambre est propre et cosy. Les propriétaires cuisinent des plats divins et très copieux. Les meilleurs repas de tout notre séjour! Nous y retournerions avec joie."

"Wat een geweldig verblijf bij dit authentiek, Jordaans bed & breakfast. Even geen hotel met een receptie en conciërge, maar een warm ontvangst door Zafira, een zeer ontspannende gastvrouw. En het warme ontvangst begint eigenlijk gelijk al net na je boeking, waar Jolanda je een welkomst berichtje stuurt en door de tijd heen allerlei tips en suggesties geeft voordat je verblijf begonnen is. Ofwel je voelt je gelijk thuis als geziene gast! De bouw van dit b&b is authentiek, het ontbijt is uitgebreid, het uitzicht is mooi, dus voor ons was dit het pareltje van onze rondreis in Jordanië."

"Beautiful guesthouse near Petra. I felt at home immediately: very nice, warm and cosy rooms with the patio as the heart of the house. A terrace with stunning sunsets. Fadi is a charming host and he cooks delicious meals, together with his hospitable staff. I went there twice and I'll be back (inshallah)!"

"During my stay in Wadi Musa, I had my dinners in Beit Al Taybeh. What a wonderful found! The food is home made and great here. Once you try it you don’t want to go elsewhere. I came here thanks to Jolanda who was hosting me in The Fig Tree Villa. The food is made and served with love and the portions are generous."

"For two days we were the guests of Fadi in Beit al Tayben. What a place to call home. Stunning views, beautiful authentic resthouse, super food, warm welcome and help of Fadi and his staff. The perfect basecamp to visit Petra or go on hiking trails in the beautifull surroundings. Also a perfect place for a restday."
