1
Amman
Your driver will pick you up at approximately 9 a.m. from your hotel in Amman.

Dana
You will arrive at Dana Biosphere at around midday. Dana Biosphere Reserve is home to hundreds of species living within diverse ecosystems and habitats. Yet animals are not the only ones to find Dana's natural resources important, as for centuries, foreign empires - especially the Roman and Byzantine - coveted the region for its expansive copper and other mineral deposits. Established in 1993, Dana Biosphere Reserve is Jordan’s largest biosphere reserve, covering 291 km2 of some of the most diverse landscape in Jordan. In 1994, The Royal Society for the Conservation of Nature (RSCN) instituted the first protected area management plan in Jordan at Dana Biosphere Reserve, creating an internationally -recognized model for the integration of conservation with socio-economic development programs, building rehabilitation, and the creation of Jordan’s first heritage village and arts craft empowering the locals to work. Enjoy the visit, dinner, and overnight.
