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. And above all, only a 15 minute ride (10 km) from the Petra Visitor centre.

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.

The experience of a group stay in Beit al Taybeh

"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."

Top location with super hosts.

This is what Svenja said about her stay in Beit al Taybeh

"Unfortunately, we were only able to spend one night at Beit al Taybeh, but we enjoyed it very much. Lovely 2-bed room, large and clean. Super delicious dinner with a wonderful view of the mountains. It's only a 15-minute drive to Petra. When we arrived, we were greeted with tea and immediately felt at home. Overall, highly recommended!"

Guests in the restaurant Beit al Taybeh Guesthouse

Our Restaurant

On the roof of the guesthouse we built a rooftop restaurant in the same style as the rest of the building. In the morniing we serve the breakfast that is included in your stay in this dining room. We can also serve dinner to our guests as well as other travellers who'd like to enjoy a local three course dinner. Sitting in our dining room with a panoramic view over Wadi Batha, Sabra and Tibn. Without a doubt it is comfortable to have dinner in the family house after your Petra visit. No need to drive back to Wadi Musa again. Just watch the sunset from the roof and sit at the table to enjoy the delicious, local food.

"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."

"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."

Les meilleurs repas de tout notre séjour!

"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."
