Birdwatchers in Jordan can target a fascinating set of species. The Syrian serin breeds in the northern highlands; the rare sooty falcon nests in desert cliffs; the basra reed warbler passes through Azraq; and the houbara bustard and thick-billed lark inhabit the eastern steppe.
The Sinai rosefinch is a prized Wadi Rum find, while white-cheeked bulbul, rufous-tailed scrub robin, hoopoe and various wheatears are common company. This mix, with over 400 species recorded nationally, rewards any level of birder. Travellers who hire car & driver in Jordan can cover habitats profitably, and full package tours to Jordan target the best species sites.
