I loved trekking in the Dana Reserve. Mainly because there are not many tourists, except at the ecolodge centre, which is a stop off for groups. The landscapes are beautiful, the scenery is very mineral with its peaks of rocky sandstone, limestone and granite. We're really on the edge of the desert but the greenery is ever present. 
Dana is an amazing biosphere reserve, I saw Nubian ibex while I was there (a species of local mountain goat) and some Syrian wolf tracks but sadly no wolves. 
I stayed over night at the Rummana Campsite, under the stars and by the camp fire, I will hold on to these special memories. I walked the 4 hour long Dana Village Trail, with a compulsory guide as the hike is quite difficult. 
Dana village itself is very picturesque , it dates from the 19th century, is built from stone and overlooks the reserve. There are some nice local craft items. Stay with a host family, it is fair tourism and ecological, strongly recommended!
