Stargazing at Rummana Campground: the high-altitude alternative to Wadi Rum

1,250 metres above sea level on a Dana ridge, the RSCN-managed Rummana campground gives you Bortle-2 dark skies, cooler nights than Wadi Rum, and the tents are on platforms with proper mattresses. Open April–October.

Dana Biosphere village: a 500-year-old stone village inside the largest nature reserve in Jordan

On the rim of the Dana valley sits a stone village that has been continuously occupied for 500 years. Below it: 308 km² of nature reserve descending from 1,600 m to 50 m below sea level — four climate zones in 30 km.
