Discover Green Jordan
The Ultimate Guide for Eco-Conscious Travelers
Welcome to Jordan, where ancient wonders meet pioneering sustainability. For travelers seeking to minimize their carbon footprint while discovering breathtaking landscapes, Jordan offers world-class eco-tourism managed by and for local communities.
Where ancient wonders meet pioneering sustainability
Jordan is far more than its famous archaeological sites. From the canyons of Dana and the oak and pistachio woodlands of Ajloun to the desert of Wadi Rum and the coral reefs of Aqaba, the country is home to protected reserves where eco-tourism is run by and for the communities who live there. Stay in eco-lodges and community-run guesthouses, walk with local guides and slow down to explore fewer places more deeply. Explore our handpicked sustainable destinations and see how your journey can give back to the planet.
Top Eco-Friendly Destinations
Six handpicked places where nature, local communities and responsible travel come together.
Dana Biosphere Reserve
Jordan's largest nature reserve
Spectacular hiking trails slice through dramatic canyons in Jordan's largest nature reserve, where sweeping viewpoints and changing landscapes reward every step. Experience the award-winning Feynan Ecolodge, a fully off-grid, candle-lit and zero-emission lodge operated completely by the local Bedouin community — a stay that supports the families who call Dana home.
Ajloun Forest Reserve
Mediterranean-like oak and pistachio woodlands
Trek through Mediterranean-like oak and pistachio woodlands in the green hills of northern Jordan, a refreshing contrast to the desert. Visitors can stay in beautiful, low-impact solar-powered wooden cabins built to support forest preservation and benefit regional villages.
Wadi Mujib Biosphere Reserve
The 'Grand Canyon of Jordan'
Known as the 'Grand Canyon of Jordan,' Wadi Mujib is the lowest nature reserve on Earth, featuring a majestic river gorge between towering sandstone walls. Adventurers can dive into eco-friendly water trekking and canyoning while preserving the delicate river ecosystem. Trail access depends on the season and water conditions, so we confirm availability before you travel.
Wadi Rum Protected Area
A timeless desert managed with Bedouin tribes
Journey into the timeless desert valley managed hand-in-hand with native Bedouin tribes. Sleep under the stars at sustainable eco-camps, embark on traditional camel treks, or enjoy low-impact 4x4 tours designed to reduce environmental footprints.
Gulf of Aqaba Marine Reserve
Conscious underwater tourism
Immerse yourself in conscious underwater tourism focused entirely on coral reef protection and eco-diving initiatives. Snorkel or dive among the Red Sea's vivid corals and marine life with operators who put reef protection first — look, don't touch, and leave nothing behind.
Jordan Eco Park (Sharhabil Bin Hassneh)
A habitat recovery model in the northern Jordan Valley
Located in the northern Jordan Valley, this vibrant habitat recovery model offers bird watching, cycling, hiking and cozy eco-BnB accommodations. It is a peaceful place to slow down and reconnect with nature, away from the busier sites.
How to Be a Responsible Green Traveler
Small choices make a big difference. Here is how to make your journey lighter on the planet and better for local communities.
Stay Consciously

Buy from neighborhood artisans and farmers instead of purchasing imported goods.
