أهلاً وسهلاًWelcome to Beit Ak Bik.
THE HOUSE
A Damascene home,
since the 17th century.
Beit Ak Bik began as a Damascene house in the 17th century. Restored as an eight-room hotel, it is arranged around a courtyard with a marble fountain, striped stone walls and carved wooden details.
The rooms take their names from Damascus and its gates. Mother-of-pearl inlay, copper lamps and wooden furnishings reflect the crafts found throughout the old city. From the courtyard, the lanes around Straight Street are just beyond the door.
