Dana Nature Reserve holidays

Dana Nature Reserve is an impressive attempt by the Royal Society for the Conservation of Nature (RSCN) at environmental protection and ecotourism. The reserve includes a variety of landscapes including peaks over 1,500m high, and the sandstone cliffs of Wadi Dana which lead to the Dead Sea approximately 12km to the west. The escarpments and the valleys protect approximately 600 species of plants, 200 species of birds and 33 species of animals (of which 25 are endangered). The reserve has almost 100 archaeological sites, mostly unexcavated. The 15th century stone village of Dana is separate to the reserve
