Hayatt Zaman Hotel

The Hayatt Zaman Hotel will transport you to a world of timeless Bedouin hospitality in a stunning Jordanian village setting. The tempting smell of freshly baked local taboun bread will draw you to the village square, where the aromas mix with incense and the fresh desert night air. Traditional flutes serenade you as you enjoy the best of Jordanian cuisine under the majestic starlit sky. With regular theme nights, or just dining in the evening, you are assured a truly immersive cultural experience. The grand arches and vaults, all in local stone, provide a cosy winter hideaway or a cool summer haven. Relax in a sensational Turkish bath, or take a dip in the pool, then enjoy traditional local cuisine or international fayre on the terrace with views of the rose-pink Sharah Mountains and Petra Valley. That view will tempt you to explore further, and the resort is only 12 kilometres from the world-famous Rose City of Petra, one of the Seven New Wonders of the World. A private shuttle service is available for you to experience this, as well as longer trips to Wadi Rum and the sea resort of Agaba. Remaining in the village, the Arti Zaman souk and shops offer traditional goods, hand-crafted by artisans in the village’s own workshops. Browsing delicate pottery, hand-blown glassware, exquisite jewellery, and traditional carpets - you may begin by looking for gifts for those at home, but it’s hard to resist a treat for yourself. Though the setting provides an authentic ancient rural village experience, the facilities are incredibly modern and everything a seasoned international traveller would expect from a luxury resort.
