Hotel overview

Nestled in a rocky amphitheatre where Wadi Dana exits the mountains and the floodplain opens out, Feynan Eco-Lodge is a unique hotel in Jordan. Made entirely in traditional building style and is powered exclusively by solar panels. At night, the only lighting comes from candlelight, reflected back by shards of glass and mirror. The rooms are simply decorated: smooth earthen walls have niches for storage and mosquito nets over the beds; all have ensuite bathrooms with solar-heated showers. The food consists of entirely vegetarian Arabic cooking, using produce found in the reserve and from a nearby organic farm. The lodge is very remote, reached either by hiking down from Dana Guesthouse or along a long dirt road. It's a great base for hiking and biking (mountain bikes are provided) into the surrounding hills that are dotted with ancient archaeological sites. Feynan is a magical place and the eco-lodge is simply the best way to enjoy it.

Quirky excursions

View all excursions in Jordan
Excursion

Feynan Copper Mine Trail

Discover what an important supply centre Feynan was for the Roman Empire and join this fascinating guided trail, learning how vast deposits of copper were discovered, mined and processed by ancient civilizations thousands of years ago. Explore deep, long-forgotten mine shafts and visit nearby sites to see how the copper was transported and refined, leaving vast slag formations from the smelting process that are still visible today.

Excursion

Dana Village

A round trip from the guesthouse through the village and back again is an easy walk and takes an hour or two. As well as the chance to see the traditional architectural techniques up-close, you can also wonder through the terraced gardens that supply much of the food for the village and visit the craft shops set up by the locals to help support themselves and allow them to stay in the village, keeping their traditions alive. There are one or two viewpoints on the edge of the village, looking out over the dramatic slopes and cliffs of Wadi Dana that help make this an enjoyable walk.

Excursion

White Dome Trail

Rummana Campsite lies at a similar height to Dana Guesthouse and village, separated by the sheer drop into Wadi Dana; the contour line linking them that runs around the edge of the canyon is the basis for the White Dome trail. It can be walked in either direction (ask the staff at the Guesthouse to arrange transport for the non-walking leg), and affords amazing views down the wadi as well as passing through the village's traditional terraced gardens. The trail takes about four hours and is of moderate difficulty.

Excursion

Wadi Dana Trail

The hike between Dana and Feynan is best undertaken downhill unless you are particularly fit. It descends (or ascends!) several hundred metres from the Jordanian plateau at the village of Dana, down to the Great Rift Valley at Feynan, which is close to sea level. We recommend you do this with a guide; the path is fairly obvious, but a guide adds more than just knowledge of the route: they are all local and can tell you about the wildlife and fauna of the wadi system, as well as helping you spot them. The remains of ancient copper mines in the walls of the wadi make for an interesting side-trip for the fit. The walk takes 4-6 hours and is a superb way to arrive at Feynan Eco-lodge.
