We run this bed and breakfast on Jordan Trail, a quiet place for hikers, bicyclists, animal-lovers (allergic alert), stargazers and family weekends. It’s a tiny place, our max capacity is a dozen of people - good chance to be tet-a-tet with the desert or make a party of your own (we’d love to assist and make all the arrangement for a birthday surprise, private elopement in the mountains, yoga retreat or anything you have in mind)
We haver rooms for 2 and 4 people, the maximum camp capacity is 12 people in total. Guests are provided with lining and warm blankets There is hot water and clean towels in the bathrooms. Light and solar-powered charging station, free Wi-Fi and cold beer. Transportation from highway and breakfast is included in the room rate (JoD 15 per person), traditional dinner is JoD 8 extra, vegetarian - JoD 5, if you plan your own dinner - there is a communal kitchen with essential utensils, gas burner, mangal, and firewood.

"Espescially was I guided up and down a mountain with great support from July to overcome my fear of heights. To have that experience walking her goats to the top of the mountain was life changing!"
Jo Pollack @wadirumdiary walks our goat flock every morning an hour or two after breakfast and everyone who happened to be at this time in Malakot Inn is welcome to join
We do not necessarily climb, but can make it to the mountaintops to overview all Wadi Rum from the thousand meters over the sea level, talk a lot about the flora we see on the way, the fauna, and the petrology of the red desert. There are some neolithic inscriptions right behind the corner, a big dune to play in the sand in half an hour's walk, and lots of breathtaking views.
☛ The length can vary from 3 to 8 km - it depending on hikers' preferences and physical conditions, but even climbing to the very top doesn’t require any special skills and suits for kids too
☛ Time then also depends on the rout we choose - 2-3 hours is the average we can climb to the top and get back to the camp but this mountain is big enough to spend all day up there
☛ Drinking water is provided - get your water bottles with you
Al-Kharazeh rock bridges are just 8km away from our place. An hour is enough to get there, watch the sunset (most of the tourist crowd is leaving by that time to be closer to their camps), and come back.
There are Nabataean water collectors and memos left by their king Aretas not far away from the site, so you might want to plan some extra time to explore - two would be good, the jeep trip will cost JoD35
15 kilometres north of us is the very underrated village of Humayma. People lived there longer than in Petra, and at the excavation site one can find ancient Idumean burials, and the remains of fifty meters of the Roman aqueduct, and water collectors, and baths of legionnaires, and an Abbasid villa. And behind the village - Wadi Aheimar canyon, so the exploration can be scaled from an hour to the whole day.
