Azraq Wetland Reserve
Azraq Wetland Reserve is a unique wetland located in the heart of the arid Jordanian desert near the city of Azraq. The reserve contains several water ponds rich in Aphanius Sirhani fish, a seasonally flooded marshland, and a large mudflat.
The reserve is a resting station for birds during their long migration between Africa and Europe, where some breed in the reserve while the other part spend the winter there.
Azraq Wetland Reserve was submitted in 2007 to the UNESCO Tentative List in Jordan as part of Azraq.
