The Shaumari Reserve

The Shaumari Reserve: Arabian oryx reintroduced to the eastern desert grasslands.

The Shaumari Wildlife Reserve, near Azraq, was created to reintroduce the Arabian oryx — extinct in the wild and bred back from a handful of animals — alongside ostriches, gazelles and desert grassland.

Safari-style visits run with rangers. Travellers who hire car & driver in Jordan combine it with Azraq, and full package tours to Jordan include it for wildlife fans.
