We had a leisurely lunch of Arabic Buffet were well look after by the staff and were unhurried the Buffet was great and every one around us were impressed. After your LONG walk you will need a place like this to regain your composure

This restaurant was recommended to us by our hotel, the Movenpick. The food we had was wonderful and was much more authentic than most of the other food we tried in Petra. The prices were also fantastic. Our waiter was very nice and attentive.

We went to Al-Arabi having read reviews in the Rough Guide and enjoyed arabic chicken, fantastic falafel and scrumptious... More

We found everywhere in Petra as one might expect to be a ripoff, even for poor quality food. Al-Arabi was the exception. You can have breakfast falafel and tea for 2 JD, fuul and muttabal and hummus and a salad between two for 5-6JD for lunch and then shish tawouk for dinner for 5 JD! Portions are generous, service is... More
