Dana Biosphere Reserve

Dana Biosphere Reserve
About the product
The rugged beauty and natural diversity of Dana make this nature reserve a
worthwhile stop for visitors to Jordan. The reserve encompasses some of Jordan’s
most breath-taking scenery, stretching from the 1800-meter-high Sharaa mountains
in the east down to the dunes of Wadi Araba at sea level.

Dana became the Kingdom’s sixth wildlife reserve in 1990, thereby protecting all
animals—including endangered species such as the ibex—from the ravages of
hunting. Next to the nature reserve is the small village of Dana. Artifacts uncovered
there indicate that man has inhabited this area for six thousand years, drawn by the
region’s fertile land and natural springs.
Dana Nature Reserve hosts a wide variety of fauna, including ibex, mountain gazelle,
fox, badger, porcupine, wolf, hyrax, striped hyena, jackal and many others. Numerous
species of birdlife roam the skies of Dana as well. Visitors to Dana are welcome to take
advantage of the designated campground area and the hiking trails which crisscross
the reserve. The rather luxurious campground offers meals, showers, guided walks
around the reserve, and tents with mattresses and pillows.

Trails in Dana are open from March 15th – October 31st Only , guided or self-guided.
