Offers exceptional service, wonderful buffet meals. It's a comfortable atmosphere, with plenty of sitting space up on the roof, with meals served inside a Bedouin-style common area, which is great in the cold winter. The hotel is a grouping of mud-built houses, typical of the town.
Very nice and friendly host. The rooms are basic but probably a good bargain.
Run by the local collective supported by the RSCN, has a mix of rooms, a rooftop and good food (6 JD for dinner).
The higher end option in town. Most rooms have balconies with spectacular views over the reserve and canyon.
Located 3 km from town with views into the canyon.
The location of the campsite used to be a favored Bedouin camping area, occupied every summer season for goat grazing. The campsite has 20 large tents that can house up to 60 people, bathrooms, and barbecue grills for visitor use. Each tent comes equipped with mattresses, blankets and pillows. Traditional Arabic meals are also provided upon request. Open from 15 March to 31 October. However, there have been complaints about the management, price and authenticity of this site.
If driving, Dana Village is well-signposted from the Kings Highway just north of Al-Qadisiyah. It is down a short, steep road and there is parking at various points around the village.
Read in the guideYou can walk to a few places from Dana Village - down the main track for a bit (but then you have to get back up), or over to the springs and some rocks with good vantage points.
