Finalist, Community Award 2015

A life defined by moving from one water source to another, transporting your possessions with you, teaches frugality and a keen sense of navigation. Running a successful hotel and offering guided tours in such an arid and remote location requires equally special skills. The Feynan Ecolodge, however, is a very special place. The first ecolodge in Jordan, from the day it opened in 2005 the aim was to support the local communities and wildlife of the Dana Biosphere Reserve - and to do this by introducing international guests to the lifestyles and legacy of the Bedouin.
