Beit Al Fannan (House of the Artist) was the getaway of renowned Jordanian artist and architect, Ammar Khamash. It was here that Ammar painted some of his most significant paintings and gathered an array of the interesting stories, some of which can be found within the villa. The unique architecture, landscape, and views from the balconies make for a memorable trip to the Jordanian countryside. A serene spot, perfect for a romantic weekend, an escape, or a space to be creative. The space Designed by Ammar Khammash in 1994, Beit Al Fannan was constructed solely by hand. The construction team reverted to traditional methods of building by using mud on the outside walls & cement and limestone on the inside. The construction of the villa also depended heavily upon a cave, which is located near to the kitchen and was used for all the mixing materials needed to craft this rustic villa. The villa seamlessly rises from its surroundings, partly because of its natural exterior colour but also because it adapts to the slope of the hill. The villa consists of an en-suite top floor bedroom with its own balcony…an ideal place to watch the sunset over the Jordan Valley. Guest access Guests have private access to Beit Al Fannan. Two out of the three floors will be available for those booking for two guests. The bottom floor is an additional apartment that is rented out for an additional fee.
