Hotels near National Park Qumran, Kalia

I so wish we had booked to stay for 2 nights instead of 1. This guesthouse is in a restricted area, due to its proximity to the Palestine border. On arrival, go to the Visitor Centre and speak to the Police. They will issue you with a pass that enables you to pass the checkpoint and drive down to the guest house. Due to border patrols, you are not allowed to access the River Jordan at night. There is ample parking and, currently, the whole area is very quiet. (However, the Catholics are building on the adjacent plot, so this might increase the number of tourists.) There were only half a dozen other people staying when we were there, so we almost had the residence to ourselves. Our room has comfortable twin beds and was utterly quiet. We hadn't realised how far the guest house was from the nearest town and how difficult it was to access the site, so we didn't know where to get dinner. The cooks prepared food for the staff and they kindly provided extra, so that we were able to eat. The absolute highlight for me was sitting on the terrace, watching the sun set over Palestine. It really was rather special and I didn't want to go in to bed.

Good location, not far from Amman airport (around 1 hour by car), really good territory with swimming pools and private beach with mud, good breakfast, nice staff

Kalia Kibbutz Hotel offers a lot. Its a resort with swimming pool, mini market, great breakfast and you get free entry tickets to kalia beach for one time.

Very good everything is clean the staff very friendly

Very kind staff, they even offered us a free additional room because they didn't have an available triple room with 3 single beds. The breakfast was great. The location is great as well. It is located in a quiet neighborhood, a bit far from the center.
