Local know-how to help you travel smarter and make the most of every moment.
Car
If you are traveling by car within Dana Biosphere Reserve, start at the Dana Village. Head south on the main road (the road that goes through the reserve). After approximately 7 kilometers, watch for signs indicating Al-Qadisiya. Turn left onto the Al-Qadisiya road and continue for about 5 kilometers. You will see signs for الخرارة (Al-Qadisiya) directing you to the hiking area. There is a parking area at الخرارة where you can leave your car.
Public Transportation
If you prefer public transportation, look for a shared taxi (service) from Dana Village to Al-Qadisiya. These taxis run frequently and will drop you off at the nearest point to الخرارة. Once you arrive in Al-Qadisiya, you may need to walk about 1 kilometer to reach الخرارة. Be prepared for some uneven terrain as you approach the hiking area.
Walking
For those already in the vicinity of الخرارة, you can take a walking trail from the nearest accessible point in the reserve. Ensure you have a map or a guide with you, as the paths can be less marked. The terrain can be rugged, so wear appropriate hiking shoes and carry sufficient water. The walk will take about 30-45 minutes depending on your pace.
