Dana on Google Maps.
Situated in a vast area of desert and mountainous territory of Jordan not far from the Dead Sea and the famous Petra, the Nabatean town, this unique natural reserve in Jordan, incorporates several habitats such as green Mediterranean vegetation areas, the Arabian Sahara Desert and very special rock formations. The trail following the valley from the ancient village starts from the Dana village to Feynan, is about 15 km long and follows the course of ancient torrents now disappeared. Normally, the excursion includes one night in one of the two hotels in Dana village, the Tower Hotel inside the ancient stone village and Dana Hotel situated on the hill overlooking the valley and one night in Feynan Ecolodge where with the light of the candles, you will spend a pleasant evening tasting typical dishes of the region.
