Nestled among the rugged plains and sandy steppes of eastern Jordan, the Azraq Wetland Reserve stands as a literal desert oasis. Despite only 10 percent of the original wetland remaining, this scenic reserve is renowned for its glittering blue pools. The area is a vital stopover for around 300 species of migratory birds traveling between Europe and Africa, making it a prime location for wildlife enthusiasts. Visitors can explore the marshland, observe the diverse avian life, and experience the serene beauty of this unique ecosystem.
