The Story of Petra NefNaf Hostel

Petra NefNaf Hostel started as something simple — a family home, built in 1985 in the quiet village of Taybeh. For years, it was filled with laughter, meals around the fire, and the rhythm of everyday Bedouin life.

Today, that same home has opened its doors to travelers from around the world. What was once a family house is now a warm, eco-friendly hostel where guests can rest, connect, and experience the real Petra — not just the ruins, but the people, the stories, and the spirit of the land.

We’ve kept the soul of the house alive, blending comfort with authenticity. When you stay at NefNaf, you’re not just booking a bed — you’re stepping into a story that began decades ago.
