The Old Village Hotel & Resort

Nestled just 2 kilometers from the entrance to Petra, The Old Village Hotel & Resort is a luxury boutique retreat steeped in history and tribal heritage. Originally built in the late 1800s by the Nawafleh tribe using stone and wood, this former village was abandoned in the 1970s and has since been lovingly restored by descendants of its original founders. The result is a hotel that honors its past while delivering comfort and service worthy of the modern traveler. The resort’s architecture and interiors remain true to traditional design, with natural materials, handmade details, and quiet courtyards that exude a calming sense of place. Rooms and suites offer a rustic-chic ambiance, outfitted with modern comforts like air conditioning, rainfall showers, and Wi-Fi, without compromising the authentic character of the original village structures. Terraces and lounge areas scattered across the property invite guests to sip mint tea or Arabic coffee while watching the sun dip behind Petra’s surrounding sandstone mountains. With easy access to the UNESCO World Heritage site and a commitment to preserving Bedouin culture, The Old Village Hotel & Resort is a unique and soulful alternative to larger luxury properties.
