About four hundred years ago, the present village was built. Over the years, many families in Dana village have moved to the nearby village of Qadissiya in search of better jobs, schools, and housing....

The mountain setting is absolutely stunning and the welcome by our host was warm and sympathetic - right from the first encounter in the Dana village over the delicious tea to the excellent homemade food. Our conversations gave us insights and thereby a deeper understanding of local life. One of the walls in our room was natural rock and facing it we had large windows giving us a magnificent view towards the valley and mountains. The whole area is very peaceful and safe - besides from being extraordinarily beautiful!

We stayed here for two nights and absolutely enjoyed out stay. We would extend but the place was fully booked. The location is amazing with the breathtaking view. Our room was clean and cozy with comfortable beds and large window overlooking the gorge.
The staff is helpful and always attentive. Breakfast was great and we loved the homemade dinners offered in the evenings. Our special thanks go our host Moreno who went out of his way to make our stay as pleasant as possible.
We certainly recommend this place, be it as a base for your hiking tour or as a romantic getaway for a couple of days.

We loved our stay here.
Staff was lovely and the surroundings and views are gorgeous...very peaceful.
We booked it thinking it was close to Wadi Ghaweir.
It turned out I had made a mistake as the camp is close to the entrance of Dana Reserve but our trail was quite far.
They helped us to find a driver who will take us there and gave us informations about the trail and we were also able to order 2 lunch boxes for the hike with lots of food and drinks and at a very reasonable price.
We loved this camp and will definitely come back again.

We were well received and could choose between sleeping in a tent our tiny house. The dinner was delicious (buffet with various options). Latter that evening we got a free upgrade to a tiny house with private bathroom. The staff did not spare efforts to make it at ease for us. And so much tea ;-)

Pay attention to the weather conditions depending on the time of year. We had to abandon the hike due to heavy rain 3 days before (end of February/beginning of March).
Our host recommended doing this hike after March 15 and ideally in May.

Possibly 90% of people visiting Dana are hikers, or so it seemed. The main trail (but there are several) gets very busy early morning. Walking the trail an hour or so after dawn offers the only realistic hope of seeing anything of Jordan's larger animals, but you have to be lucky. The trail is steep in places and the scree is quite slippery. A third of this magnificent site (the finest reserve in Jordan) looks likely to be degazetted for a large scale copper mine. It is unclear how/ if this will imapct on the immediate environs of the hotel and its unparalled views.

Dana village by itself is completely crowded by tourists to the extend that the one street is clogged with cars. Hotel prices are on the higher level.
Nevertheless nature is beautiful around Dana!
Very nice hikes close by (Dana trail, Shaq al Reesh Trail) and a bit further away extraordinary nice Wadi Ghumair.
If you are a bit experienced in finding your way with hiking apps you probably do not need any tour guide which are frequently offered by the hotels in Dana.

Dana is a super cute and quaint little town high up on the mountains. It is well worth a visit on your trip to Jordan. From here, you can stay at many hotels and dine in authentic and local restaurants. Of course, you can also choose from a variety of activities and trails in the Dana Biosphere Reserve. Would recommend to anyone, 100%!!

The hiking in Dana is amazing.
The hiking in Dana is amazing. You can hike from there to Petra. Staying in Dana you can experience nature, watch animals, hike and meet the local people in the community.
They also had a spring of water, so some areas are very green with fruit trees and flowers. We got invited to tea by a local family when we were exploring the area.

Where we stayed was amazing at Hobbit Village, but Dana needs some help. It is worth going, and the hiking is amazing, but Dana village seems to have stalled in the development that the Dana Cooperative is supposed to be doing. All the improvements seem to have stalled, there is garbage everywhere, the cooperative shops were all closed, former garden projects dried up, all of the water from the spring seems to be diverted to to Dana Village and Feynan at the expense of the surroundings. The animal welfare situation is shamefully bad and I think that they should be helping to address this. The Do keys are tied up on cobblestones with no access to shelter, food or water for hours ( we watered the donkeys when we could) there are stray skinny dogs everywhere with no access to vet care anywhere close by.. you can’t even buy pet food. The dogs are breeding like rabbits…. It seems like Dana was a dream project that foreign countries threw money at, it started out and then everyone walked away once the funds started flowing in.
