The Rummana Campsite occupies a rare and exceptionally beautiful location within the designated core zone of the Dana Biosphere Reserve.
Established in 1989, Dana Biosphere Reserve is Jordan’s largest nature reserve, covering some 320 square km of rugged and beautiful landscape along the face of the Great Rift Valley.
Dana Biosphere Reserve is the only reserve in Jordan that includes the country’s four different bio-geographical zones; Mediterranean, Irano-Turanian, Saharo Arabian and Sudanian penetration. As such, it is the most diverse nature reserve in the country, in terms of habitats and species, hosting several vegetation types, including the Phoenician Juniper, evergreen oak, sand dunes, acacia, and rocky sudanian.
Dana supports a wide variety of wildlife, including many rare species of plants and animals. It is home to several globally threatened species of birds and mammals, such as Syrian Serin Serinus syriacus, Lesser Kestrel Falco naumanni, Blanford's Fox Vulpes cana and Nubian Ibex Capra nubiana.
