Azraq Wetlands Reserve
Azraq remains one of the most important oases in the Middle East for bird migration between Africa and Europe.
Azraq is a unique wetland oasis located in the heart of the semi-arid Jordanian Eastern Desert, one of several beautiful nature reserves managed by the Royal Society for the Conservation of Nature (RSCN).
Its attractions include several natural and ancient built pools, a seasonally flooded marshland, and a large mudflat known as Qa’a Al-Azraq. A wide variety of birds stop at the Reserve each year for a rest during their arduous migration routes between Asia and Africa. Some stay for the winter or breed within the protected areas of the wetland.

Stay over Al Azraq Reserve
A 1940s British military field hospital was renovated into this lodge in the eastern desert and a short distance away from the Azraq and Shaumari reserves. There are 16 fully equipped rooms overlooking the vast mud and sand flats of the Azraq Basin. The kitchen and restaurant are under the management of a local family, providing a variety of Chechen food and delights. The Azraq Lodge is open all year.
Bird Watching in Al Azraq Reserve
Azraq is a unique wetland, located in the heart of the arid Eastern Desert, which takes its name from the Arabic word for ‘blue’. A migratory stopover for birds from three continents, Azraq is becoming increasingly popular for bird-watching. From the walkways and hides, visitors get the chance to observe birds close at hand, including local, migratory, and occasional rare species. The Azraq area also has a rich cultural history due to its strategic location and water resources. It was used as a station for pilgrims and camel trains. The local people are also unusually diverse, coming from three different ethnic origins, Bedouin, Chechen, and Druze; each of which has distinctive beliefs and traditions.
