Taybet Zaman Hotel and Beit Zaman Hotel in Petra *****
9 km from the rose-red city of Petra, with a spectacular view of the ancient
site and surrounding mountains, lies the most beautiful and fantastic hotel
Petra has ever seen. Taybet Zaman is an old existing village, renovated in
the old Jordanian architecture of the time, that mediates the spirit of Arabian
Nights.
Taybet Zaman has 105 small houses and aims at offering its clients an experience
of the way of life in a typical Jordanian village. The Arts and Crafts Centre
displays traditional handmade products. One can enjoy an afternoon in the
town square, sipping freshly-made cardamon coffee, mint tea, smoking a water-pipe,
and indulging in a variety of pastries or Arabic sweets while watching the
daily entertainment show in warm weather. The main attractions of the village
are the other features including several small restaurants serving Arabic
food, a pastry shop, a garden bar, conference and banquet facilities, a museum
and a spice and vegetable shop.
All public areas are accessible to the physically-disabled, as well as 3 fully-equipped
guest rooms.
Taybet Zaman is the first environment-friendly establishment of its kinds
in the region.
All rooms are fully air-conditioned, with floor-heating, mini-bar, satellite
antenna, direct dialling, and fax on request. Every room has a sofa, its own
bathroom with basin and shower.
In November 2000 the shareholders of Taybet Zaman Hotel have opened a similar
hotel - Beit Zaman - in Wadi Musa/Petra. The facilities are the same like
in Taybet Zaman, but the swimming pool is an indoor one.
