Perched
on the edge of Wadi Dana, overlooking the spectacular scenery of the Dana
Nature Reserve, is a unique guest house offering: breathtaking views, peace and
seclusion, sensitively designed and furnished buildings, traditional Arabic
food, friendly, & informal service. The Guest
House lies just outside the village of
Dana, 200 KM south of Amman,
60 KM north of Petra
and 200 KM north of Aqaba. It can be reached from the king's highway, turning
off Qadessiya, and from the Desert
Highway by taking the Rashediya turning at
Husseiniya. Offering accommodation up to 20 people in 9 bedrooms, most of which
have private terraces overlooking the Wadi. There are also excellent facilities
for conferences and work. By
staying in the Dana Guest House you will be part of a pioneering project to
bring nature and people together. You will be supporting the protection of the
Nature Reserve and improving the livelihood of local people. The
Reserve itself is home to thousands of special plants and animals, some of which
are in danger of disappearing from the earth forever. RSCN "The Royal Society for the Conservation of
Nature" has a policy to help local
communities benefit from the nature reserve. It employs local people, buys
products from the area for the Guest House, and is developing crafts and small
businesses. The Dana
Centre, next to the Guest House, has Jordan's first nature shop, selling
organically produced foods and highly original gifts. It also has displays and
information about the nature reserve, and workshops where villagers make the
handicrafts sold in the shop.
