Abstract

A documentary on one of the reserves in Jordan which is situated in the city of Tafileh.It is Dana's reserve . Its inhabitants have deserted it because of its rough roads and lack of services. They founded a new village which they named “El Qadissia” Which is nearer to cities and less difficult to reach . The story tells of people from different clans who put together to protect their ancient village “Dana” and today the village has many services such as electricity, roads and communications. Reverse migration has increased and work on farms and tourism flourished. The families restored their old houses, built hotels and guest houses to ensure to tourists a quiet, serene atmosphere with only songs of birds and flowing of water, because the reserve is a habitat for many animals .
