    The hosts Mona and Faisal were amazing, they were so friendly and welcoming. The rooms were very clean and comfortable. I loved that the guest house is located in Um Sayhoun, city where beduins live so you could really experience the culture and way of life.

    There isn’t anything around so you don’t have a choice but to eat with the family and getting lunch in the area is nearly impossible so you have to do with random supermarket snacks (more of a minimart). You also have to arrange taxis etc as there is no public transport (max from petra visitor centre should be 5JOD). We met a taxi driver on the first day and just messaged him whenever we needed a ride.

    Very clean room and spacious. The bathroom was also big. The beds were comfortable and everything was clean. The dinner was amazing but slightly expensive however at 10JOD pp but the portions were huge! The family was lovely and we felt at home with them. The back entrance is really close and recommend walking this way on your second day. It is definitely a genuine experience staying here.

    It was very cozy and welcoming, instantly we became a part of the family and we could spend time with the Bedouin family which owns the guest house in the Bedouin tent or in their living room. The home made food was delicious 😋

    If you are coming to see Petra, this guest house is a really great start for this advanture and for me it was one of the highlights of our trip. Of course you can find plenty of different types of accomodation in Wadi Musa, but I was looking for typical local experience that is why I booked this place few kilometres from Wadi Musa and it was really great!! The moment we arrived, we met only nice and cool people, the owner Faesal and his family are really lovely people. We spent a lot of time talking about way of living there, about Jordan in general....and of course we received a lot of tips how to make trip to Petra really unforgettable experience... Little bit about house and room itself....we were 3 guys and everything was OK...3 comfortable separate beds, good shower, brekfast in the morning was really good. For me it was interesting to hear when donkeys outside started to communicate with each other...their communication can be really loud sometimes :-) I can not forget to mention that owner of this place Faesal runs also the shop right in front of Treasury in Petra complex!! It was really great to meet him there again, he offered us cup of coffee which was really cool. Petra is a truly special place to visit. In overal...short visit of Petra Magic Guest House for one night was really great part of our trip and I highly recommend it to other travellers. Thank you Faesal for everything, hopefully I can see you again in future.

    Our stay at Petra Magic Guest house was just amazing! The room was super clean and spacious, hot water, comfortable beds. The owner and his wife are lovely people, who welcomed us with tea and nice chat over the fire place. They also prepared for us delicious dinner, though we arrived late in the evening. They also invited us to their house. It was fabulous, charming, lovely local experience. Can highly recommend. 11/10 :))

    Google maps brings you up to the back of the guesthouse so it's a bit confusing, but that's not the owners fault. Once you drive around to the front there's a gate and parking for the car.

    If you are looking for a family run guest house with great value, you have found it here. Our host, Faesal, owns a guest house in the Bedoun Village of Uum Seyhoun, a 5 minute drive from Wadi Musa. He and the other families in this village were early inhabitants of the Petra area. The guesthouse has comfy beds and a charming communal space out front to relax and have breakfast and/or dinner. His wife cooked a delicious meal for our dinner when we arrived late and hungry. He was most kind in giving us suggestions on how best to see Petra the next day. He set up transportation to and from the site so that we could leave our car at the guest house for the day. Overall, it's a great value (our breakfast was included) and very convenient to Petra. We also enjoyed staying in the small local town rather than in a hotel right outside Petra, which was nice but much more touristy. We would stay there again if and when we return.

    Nothing

    Great location 3 km from Petra Visitors Center and even closer to the Petra back entrance, if one should choose that route (which is highly recommended). The couple owning the guest house, Faesal and Mona, showed great hospitality. The rooms are clean and nicely furnished, and in front of the house is a cozy tent, where Faesel and Mona served delicious breakfast and coffee.
