Hayat Zaman Hotel & Resort 

A great base for exploring the sandstone city of Petra.

Authentic charm, century-old dwellings and Sharah Mountain views, all just 15 minutes' drive to Petra’s ancient sights.

Carved out of a 19th century Ottoman village, everything here is splendidly ancient. The hammam and seasonal pool are delightful additions but it’s the winding alleyways, original water well and call to prayer melodies that transport you to the magic of yesteryear. Bedouin-style rooms retain their rough-hewn stone walls and Sahtain restaurant stays true to local influences with incense, flute players and clay-oven taboon.

Why we love Hayat Zaman Hotel & Resort

  • An independent hotel with a unique identity and a historical footprint.

  • Excellent views of the Sharah Mountain Range.

  • Comfortable stone-walled rooms are designed with restraint for a restful and rustic stay.
