Azraq Wetlands Reserve

In the eastern desert, the Azraq Wetlands Reserve is a rare oasis where reeds and shallow pools attract migratory birds and birdwatchers year-round. Boardwalks let you explore quietly without disturbing the wildlife.

The old water pumping stations nearby tell the story of the region's changing landscape. A peaceful half-day from Amman. Travellers who hire car & driver in Jordan pair Azraq with Qasr al-Azraq and the desert castles, and full package tours to Jordan can add it to a Jordanian east loop.
