Discover Jordan

Dana Biosphere Reserve

Village views, mountain trails and time close to nature.

Dana Biosphere Reserve by Car — Jordan Travel Guide

Dana is a destination for slowing down: enjoy the village setting, broad valley views and a walk suited to your ability. The reserve includes varied landscapes, so not every trail starts at the same place. Confirm your meeting point and transport arrangements before leaving, especially for a hike ending away from your parked car.
