About this experience
Dana is where Jordan's landscapes change within a few kilometres – from juniper and oak on the highlands to sandstone domes and finally the desert of Wadi Araba. With a certified RSCN or local guide you walk a trail matched to your fitness, from the easy Village Trail to the moderate White Domes trail.
Lunch is at the guesthouse terrace hanging over the valley. The tour can start in Petra (45 minutes) or Amman (2.5 hours), and it pairs perfectly with an overnight at Feynan Ecolodge.
