Dining Tent
Our big dining tent has large windows that open on three sides to let the desert breeze cool the air in summer. The view arcs from south-west to north-west, across an expanse of sand, and provides year-round views of the sun setting over distant mountains.
We serve your meals in the big tent, and Bedouin tea and cool water are available here on your arrival and throughout the evening. You can relax and enjoy a cup of tea anytime.

Meals
Dinner and breakfast are served buffet-style in the dining tent. The food is healthy, with a choice of salads, a mixture of Jordanian favourite dishes and traditional Bedouin cooking. Everything is prepared fresh.
When we have many visitors we prepare a Bedouin BBQ, or zarb, for dinner. In Arabic, زرب . Meat and vegetables are cooked under the ground and the food tastes delicious. You are welcome to watch when we take this meal out of the of the ground.
Dinner is served after sunset in summer, and about 7.00pm in winter. Breakfast is served at 7.30am.
