FAQ
​
- Where will I be staying and what is the accommodation?
ARD is located in Taybeh Organic Farms, in Wadi Rajeb, at the edge Ajloun, overlooking the Jordan Valley.
ARD’s accommodation is camping based and offers specific camping sites for the participants to pitch their own tent. We have 2 accommodating buildings: ARD Centre and Taybeh House, each have bathrooms and hot showers and each building is assigned for accommodating either males or females. If you do not have a tent, ARD can provide you with a tent and mattress for an extra fee.
2 family rooms are available (each with 2 bunk-beds) during workshops only. The rooms are given in priority to families or depending on availability and following the sanitary rules due to Covid (shared accommodation are ONLY for couples, family members/clusters). You can book a room for an extra fee.

Bring a hat and sunscreen. Bring working gloves if you have. Make sure to bring your equipment for the night to make you comfortable (mattress, sleeping bag, small torch lamp, etc). Bring your personal toiletry kit and towels and last but not least your reusable water bottle if you have one!
