A beautiful hotel - very picturesque sandstone
"The views from the pool are stunning. The rock formations in the background are so ideal for social media pictures that there are an annoying number of people filing social media of themselves by the pool. I totally understand wanting to capture the beauty but wish there was a time limit to how long ..."

Popular places to visit

“Qasr al-Farid” means “the lonely castle”, so called because it stands completely isolated from the others. But despite its fanciful name, Qasr al-Farid is only a tomb. It was carved out of a single rock sometime in the first century A.D., but its facade was never finished which makes the tomb an interesting study. The heavily chiselled surface of the lower third documents how these tombs were fashioned from the top down. Qasr al-Farid is just one of ninety-odd such monumental tombs carved here during the heyday of the Nabataeans.
