Petra Panorama Hotel

This beautiful hotel is built at the top of the mountain which surround the northern side of the valley of Wadi Musa where Petra Rose-red city is located. The lobby is located at top floor followed by 11 storeys of hotel rooms going down the cliff. So it was quite awkward when using the lift -going down from the lobby rather than going up!

The hotel location offers wonderful view of the mountains where on a clear day one could see a white building on top of one of the mountain. This is mountain of Nabi Harun or Jebel Harun in Arabic. On the summit is a white shrine said to cover the grave of Nabi Harun.
