Dana Biosphere Reserve

 

The Dana reserve, classified as a biosphere reserve by Unesco, is to date the most extensive protected area in Jordan (308 km2). From the sandstone cliffs of the Jordanian Rift Valley to the desert plains (50m below sea level) of Wadi Araba, the diversity of landscapes knows few equivalents.

 

Within the Rummana mountain, culminating at an altitude of 1,700 m, the fertile gorges are home to 600 species of plants, and orchards abundant with citrus fruits and dates. From this manna in a desert universe, 35 species of mammals take advantage of which the last specimens of the mountain gazelle and the sand cat.

 

Spring, when flowering bushes cover the slopes, and autumn for wildlife viewing, are the two prime seasons. The Rift Valley, well known to archaeologists, is dotted with human traces dating back to the most distant ages.

 

The Dana reserve has a hundred archaeological sites. Its mineral resources, discovered 6,000 years ago, are mentioned in the Bible. The ruins of Khirbet Feynan suggest that copper was mined there by smelting, an innovation in ancient Middle East.

 

Hiking is of course the best way to discover the natural wonders of this reserve. On the hit parade of the most beautiful walks: the superb copper mining circuit of the Feynan Ecolodge stops near the slag heaps of the Umm al-Amad mines; the ascent to Rummana camp by a 2-hour route through the canyons of Wadi Dana populated by griffon vultures and ibex (more discreet); the most classic hike (not named) takes place along the river and requires spending the night in the heart of the reserve.

 

More demanding are the hikes leading to Fida Canyon or Hammam Al-Dathnah through the Hamra and Palm Trees valleys.
