Dana Biosphere Reserve — Attraction in Tafilah

Nestled within the breathtaking Dana Biosphere Reserve, this natural gem unfolds a serene tapestry of beauty that transcends time. The sculptured Rocky Mountains, shaped by millions of years of wind and the remnants of ancient seas, stand as majestic sentinels, echoing the resilience of nature. The Dana reserve is a living canvas, where the rugged landscape seamlessly blends with delicate ecosystems.

Walking through this reserve is like stepping back in time, encountering scorpions and other unique creatures that have adapted to this pristine environment. The wildlife, thriving amidst the rocky contours, adds an element of discovery to the journey.

As the day draws to a close, the Dana reserve unveils its most enchanting spectacle—the sunset. From the elevated perch of the Dana resting point, the sun paints the sky in hues of warmth, casting a golden glow over the vast expanse. The accompanying cafeteria and the 16 immaculate rooms managed by the RFCN offer a retreat into comfort, allowing visitors to immerse themselves in the tranquility of the reserve while enjoying modern amenities.

Dana Reserve, with its geological wonders, diverse fauna, and the embrace of a mesmerizing sunset, provides an unforgettable retreat, inviting all to connect with...
