Beit Ahlam Quiet Duplex Villa with Terrace and Scenic View near Umm Qais Ruins

As a university professor with a deep passion for ancient civilizations, history, and intercultural understanding, I created Beit Ahlam as a space where guests can truly connect with the spirit of Umm Qais. My academic journey has taken me across cultures and centuries, but my heart has always belonged to this magical place — where Roman columns meet olive groves and biblical landscapes. Hosting travelers at Beit Ahlam is more than hospitality — it is an invitation to slow down, reflect, and experience the timeless beauty of northern Jordan. I enjoy sharing insights about the archaeological treasures of the region, its Greco-Roman roots, and its rich Arab heritage. I also find great joy in helping guests experience nature at its finest — whether it’s a peaceful sunset from the rooftop or a morning stroll among ancient ruins. It is my pleasure to welcome you, and I’m always happy to offer recommendations, stories, or even quiet space — whatever helps make your stay both meaningful and memorable.

Welcome to Beit Ahlam – Where history meets horizon. Located just 200 meters from the ancient Greco-Roman city of Umm Qais, Beit Ahlam is a private family chalet nestled in the heart of northern Jordan. Guests are treated to breathtaking panoramic views spanning three countries — Jordan, Holy Lands, and Syria — with the storied waters of the biblical Sea of Galilee (Lake Tiberias) shimmering in the distance. Step back in time as you explore the nearby Roman amphitheater, basilica, colonnaded streets, and Byzantine mosaics. Don’t miss the newly discovered Roman tunnel — a remarkable subterranean passage that once linked the great cities of the Decapolis across ancient borders. Surrounded by lush fields and the gentle hills of Umm Qais, the chalet offers a unique sense of peace and connection with nature. Just a short drive away, guests can relax at the renowned Himmeh hot springs, known for their mineral-rich, therapeutic waters. With three cozy bedrooms, two shared bathrooms, a fully equipped kitchen, and a spacious living area, Beit Ahlam is perfect for families, groups, and cultural explorers seeking beauty, wellness, and authenticity in one unforgettable stay.

Beit Ahlam is located in the heart of ancient Umm Qais, just off the main road that leads to the archaeological site. The chalet enjoys a quiet and private location while still being conveniently close to daily essentials. Within walking distance, guests will find several small supermarkets, a cozy local café, and a popular fast food restaurant. For those seeking authentic culinary experiences, there are also traditional homes nearby that prepare fresh homemade Jordanian meals upon request — a perfect way to enjoy the hospitality and flavors of the region. Whether you’re here to explore the ancient Roman and Byzantine ruins or simply to relax and take in the view, Beit Ahlam places you within easy reach of everything you need.
