The Damiya Dolmen Field in Jordan is one of the country’s most fascinating prehistoric archaeological landscapes, located in the hills overlooking the Jordan Valley. Scattered across the rugged terrain are ancient dolmens — massive stone burial monuments built during the Early Bronze Age thousands of years ago. These remarkable structures consist of enormous upright stones supporting heavy capstones, creating tomb-like chambers that have survived centuries of erosion and human activity. The site’s remote setting, dry valley climate, and dramatic rocky scenery give visitors the feeling of stepping into a forgotten world from the dawn of civilisation.
Beyond the dolmens themselves, the area is filled with rock-cut tombs carved directly into the surrounding stone hillsides, revealing the complexity of ancient burial traditions in the region. Although many dolmens have collapsed or been damaged over time, the surviving monuments still demonstrate the impressive engineering skills of their builders. Easily accessible from the Jordan Valley Highway, the Damiya Dolmen Field offers a unique combination of archaeology, adventure, and natural beauty, making it an extraordinary destination for explorers, photographers, and anyone interested in Jordan’s deep ancient history.
