Ajloun Reserve Cabins

Jordan


These rustic cabins with terraces overlooking a patch of forest make for a delightful retreat. Regular cabins share environmentally sound composting toilets and solar-heated showers; the stylish deluxe cabins are en suite. Lunch and dinner are available by reservation in the tented rooftop restaurant, though you can always cook for yourself on the barbecues. Bring plenty of mosquito repellent in summer.
