حول

حقائق سريعة: Azraq Wetland Reserve is a rare freshwater oasis in the middle of the Jordanian desert, covering about 12,000 hectares. It attracts over 280 bird species, making it a top spot for birdwatching enthusiasts.

النقاط البارزة: The reserve is a crucial resting point for migratory birds crossing the Syrian-African flyway, with thousands of birds like the black stork and Basra reed warbler making a stop here each year. Water channels and reed beds create a unique habitat that looks almost surreal against the surrounding desert landscape.
