Azraq Wetland, a Disappearing Oasis

+

by Alan Orth

+
+ +
+ + Small lake with bridge and vegetation in the Jordanian desert. + + +
+

A one of a kind oasis is at risk of disappearing in the near future.

+ +
+ +
+ + +

There’s an amazing wetland nature preserve an hour and a half from Amman — in thirty minutes of walking around, I saw birds, snakes, crabs, fish, and even water buffaloes! For thousands of years it was a massive, thriving oasis whose ecological diversity supported human settlements, but in the past few decades it has come dangerously close to drying up due to increased water usage from surrounding cities.

+ +

Learn more about the wetlands on a trip with Wild Jordan or Experience Jordan, and turn off the water in your shower or sink when you don’t need it!
