The Dana Nature Reserve offers the beauty of the Rummana Mountain, the mystery of the ancient archaeological ruins of Khirbet Feynan in Wadi Feynan, the timeless serenity of Dana Village and the grandeur of the red and white sandstone cliffs of Wadi Dana. The reserve also contains a remarkable diversity in landscaping that ranges from wooded highlands and rocky slopes to gravel plains and dunes of sand. Dana supports diverse wildlife: 697 plant species, of which 3 are new to science, and 282 animal species. Many of these animals are now very rare and some are threatened with extinction. To date, 45 endangered or vulnerable species have been found in the reserve, making it truly a place of world importance. |
