Beit Al Fannan

Jordan


At the time of research, this small guesthouse overlooking the Pella site was due to open in late 2017. The property was once owned by artist-architect Ammar Khammash, who designed Wild Jordan's iconic buildings, and who visited Pella for inspiration for his paintings. Expect cosy rooms, sublime views from the terrace, and art materials for guests to indulge their own muse.
