Nestled within the lush greenery of the Ajloun Forest Reserve, the Royal Society for the Conservation of Nature (RSCN) is more than just a conservation initiative. It’s a gateway to sustainable tourism and a wonderful place to enjoy a locally sourced meal. During our visit, we had the opportunity to dine at their restaurant. Our lunch showcased the region’s rich culinary heritage while promoting eco-friendly practices.
The restaurant offers a tranquil setting, surrounded by nature and the serene ambiance of the forest. The menu focuses on fresh, organic ingredients sourced from nearby farms, ensuring every dish is both delicious and sustainable. We enjoyed a meal that highlighted Jordanian flavors, prepared with care and authenticity. The hospitality was warm and welcoming, making the experience even more memorable.
Beyond the restaurant, the RSCN plays a crucial role in conservation efforts. They support biodiversity and empowering local communities through eco-tourism initiatives. Visitors can explore the nearby trails, which we did not have time to do durnig our visit. Travelers can also visit the on-site Nature Shop for handcrafted goods, or learn about environmental preservation efforts at the Royal Academy for Nature Conservation. There is also a soap shop and biscuit shop. We bought a small box of the flavor-packed cookies. The RSCN was established to promote education and sustainability in the region.
For travelers seeking a unique dining experience that aligns with nature conservation, a meal at the Royal Society for the Conservation of Nature in Ajloun is a must. The combination of great food, a peaceful environment, and a commitment to sustainability makes it a standout experience in northern Jordan.
