Petra Moon, Wadi Musa 06-2021

Petra Moon hotel was the closest hotel to the entrance to Petra other than Movenpick (which was much too expensive for us). It was a very nice room at an affordable price, and had a lovely rooftop complete with a pool to escape the nearly 40C afternoon temperatures we were experiencing. The other side of the rooftop overlooked Wadi Musa and the sunset and meant for a pleasant dinner setting.

The hotel had set menu dinners on offer, essentially paying for a large amount of shared salad and then a main. The hamour white fish (Googled to mean grouper) was so delicate and soft. The mixed platter contained a lamb chop, lamb kebab, chicken kebab, and kofte. All of the meats were good with probably the kebabs being the best. The grill plate was partnered with parsley salad, grilled zucchini, tomato, hot chilli, peppers, blanket bread, and baked potato. Salad was fresh with mild cheese, and also was served some very bitter leaves which were a strong acquired taste.

Breakfast was quite expensive for the quality given - the dips were ok, antipasto a bit weak and the breads not fresh (which should be the easiest thing to get right). Fine for the very early start before Petra but not worth paying for going forward.

That evening two of us shared one dinner menu and it was enough food for 2.

An excellent hotel, setting, facility and dinner. Next time I'd probably stay a little closer to the main part of town for better/closer dining options but this would be a fine option to go back to also.
