Azraq Wetland Reserve Tours and Tickets
26 Reviews
A tranquil oasis hidden between the vast sands and sandstone cliffs of Jordan’s deserts, the Azraq Wetland Reserve offers a welcome change of scenery, and it’s an easy day trip from nearby Amman.
The expanse of lush wetlands, glittering blue pools and seasonally flooded marshland is undeniably scenic, but the main attractions for visitors are the wildlife spotting opportunities. Around 150 species of migratory birds pass through the reserve, while native species include water buffalo and the rare Azraq Killifish.

Go back in time to the era of military campaigns and desert warfare as we explore Jordan’s imposing desert complexes.

Known collectively as the Desert Castles, the constructions demonstrate the best of early Islamic Architectural ingenuity.
On this tour, we will visit several of those monuments to discover the rich history and architecture of the Umayyad Period. We will also take a walk in the Black Desert, a truly unique experience, get up close and personal with amazing oryxes and go on a safari, visit an oasis and feed fish, watch birds from a hiding place and take spectacular photos throughout the tour.
You will experience a combination of history and nature, visit well-known sites and those which could be reached only by 4x4 vehicle. I'm constantly working on improving the tour to offer you a truly unique and versatile experience in the Black Desert.
