Full description
Wadi Feynan is a major wadi (seasonal river valley in Arabic) and a region in southern Jordan, set against the glorious desert landscape. It originates in the southern Jordanian highlands with the confluence of Wadi Dana and Wadi Ghuweyr, and drains into the Dead Sea via Wadi Araba. Historically, the area had the largest copper deposits in the Southern Levant, which were intensively exploited from the Chalcolithic period (4500–3100 BCE) through to the Mamluk period (1250–1516 CE). Part of the wadi is the first eco hotel, the Feynan Ecolodge, one of the best 25 eco hotels in the world, opened there in 2005 with an incredible get a away Eco experience and never forgettable contact with nature.
