My name is Omar Shoubaki. I’m a Jordanian who descended from a Bedouin tribe. I love my country Jordan and like always to share this love with all people who come to visit my country.

During my work as tourist and private driver for several years, I had the opportunity to visit all places in my country taking all routes to go deep in our ancestors’ history and to touch the beauty and the brilliance of what they did which impresses everyone who comes to visit Jordan.

In my work I always focus to give my clients more than what they expect, to show them the traditions of Jordanian and Bedouin people and to make their visit unforgettable. I got lot of friends from all around the world and to tell the truth I’m proud to have such nice and kind people.

This is an invitation for all people to come and visit my beautiful country to explore the unique historical places and routes.

Welcome (Ahlan Wa Sahlan)

Dana Nature Reserve was begun in 1989 and protects a large area of mountains, wadis and desert. It is centred around Wadi Dana, a spectacular ravine which starts at the top of The Great Rift Valley escarpment and stretches right down to the desert on the valley floor of Wadi Araba. Dana supports a variety of vegetation around the streams that run through it. It is a haven for birdlife with 214 bird species having been recorded and there are 7 different points for monitoring raptors. Also recorded here are 44 species of reptiles, 41 mammals, 707 plant species and various other fauna and flora.

Dana Village overlooking Wadi Dana, and inhabited mainly by the Al Ata'ata tribes, has been occupied since about 4000BC. In the recent past many families moved away from the village and it became almost derelict. Today the village is being restored and is once again becoming a thriving community. This wadi is a spectacular area for hiking and once you get to the bottom of the valley you enter a whole new area of desert scenery ideal for continuing a longer trek
