Dana Nature Reserve — Stay in a village little changed since the 15th century, enjoy unforgettable hiking in an offshoot of the Great Rift.

 

Entry to the reserve costs (as of October 2013) 8.20jd. There are several trails in the reserve that can be walked, all except one requiring a guide. The exception is a walk along the bottom of the valley, which can lead to Feynan Lodge in around 5 hours, but should one not wish to stay there, the trail can be walked as far as desired returning then to Dana village. Be aware that the journey back includes quite an increase in altitude, and consequently is much harder than the journey out. The guided tours bring with them the cost of the guide, and involve usually climbing of some sort. The RSCN lodge in Dana village can advise about these issues.

The workshops run by the RSCN can also be seen, but these are frankly uninteresting.

The village itself is a sight of sorts, being constructed mostly from traditional stone and mud houses. It is very small however.
