Our new project, Dana Tower Hotel, Dana Nature Reserve, Jordan

Jordan, an ancient jem of the Middle East, home to so much beauty and depth, colour and character. A country also home to a wonderful nature reserve that has been inhabited for 6000 years by the native Ata'ta people, who also share their blossoming home with exotic creatures such as the wild tortoise! 

The village of Dana sits right in the heart of the reserve, on the edge of a giant gorge, offering stunning views of Wadi Araba:

Dana Village itself, is the remains of an 800 year old stone village. It offers visitors a slice of unique Jordanian history where visitors can stay and explore, basing themselves in quirky accommodation such as the Dana Tower Hotel:

We'd love to say hello!

Our first project: Dar Tassa, Ouirgane, Morocco

So, here we are, a landmark day for www.kolanutproductions.com because we finally have our first project fully completed. It took us a while, because we hadn't even designed or built our website when we came back from Morocco with the fresh faced files. Still, we persevered and after the site was more or less finished we perused the photos and rumaged through the rushes to see what we had.

 The first project is always a bit nerve wracking, we've both photographed, filmed and edited but this would be the only project on our site for a while and we wanted to send the people at Dar Tassa something good. We wanted them to be happy as much as we wanted to be.

I don't think much good will come from me rambling on about it, I may as well just embed the video and some of the photos and break them up with a little text about the beautiful place that is Dar Tassa.

For bookings and more in depth information on Dar Tassa visit their website,

Also visit our project page on Dar Tassa for more photos and information,  www.kolanutproductions.com/dartassa_guesthouse_high_atlas_morocco.html

Watch our video for Dar Tassa or scoll down to see some of our photos with some description of the surrounding area taken from Dar Tassa's facebook page.

"Only an hour from Marrakech and within easy reach of some of Morocco's most scenic valleys and gorges, Dar Tassa is run by very friendly staff from the local hamlet."

"It is a guest house with character, built with local material in a traditional style and employing local craftsmen and materials yet including a/c and heating in all rooms."

"The owners promote eco-tourism and assist in conservation of the National Park. Dar Tassa overlooks a green valley and a typical mountain hamlet living at the rhythm of the rural mountain life."

"They specialise in freshly made wholesome Berber cuisine, which makes an ideal base for trekking in a quiet corner of the park near a sanctuary for Barbary Sheep and goats."

"Dar Tassa is in a fantastic location with stunning views from the picture window in the lounge and from large roof terrace located at 1300 metres above sea level."

For us, like everyone who has visited Dar Tassa, it is a beautiful place with stunning views and landscapes and when this is combined with the friendliest hospitality and tasty local food it makes for a great holiday retreat from the hustle and bustle of Marrakech. We are very happy to be friends with and promote the wonderful location and people of Dar Tassa.
