Aqaba Reserve
The Gulf of Aqaba is the northeastern branch of the Red Sea, and the city of Aqaba lies on its shores. This beach stretches for more than 180 km and widens to 25 km, bordering Egypt and Saudi Arabia. The Gulf of Aqaba is a unique environment for various marine species, especially the enchanting coral reefs, which thrive in the moderate temperature and calm waters. This creates an ideal environment for living and reproduction. The moderate salinity level in the sea allows for a rich marine ecosystem, home to over 110 species of soft corals, 120 species of hard corals, and more than 1000 types of rare and colorful fish, as well as numerous crustaceans. It also hosts nocturnal creatures such as crabs, shrimps, lobsters, sea turtles, dolphins, manatees, and harmless whale sharks. Aqaba is Jordan’s only seaport, connecting the country to the world via the seas. The city is surrounded by colored mountains and the deep blue sea along its 27 km coastline. In the last decade, Aqaba has received significant attention from the Jordanian government, becoming a special economic zone, which has rapidly transformed it into one of the most important sources of the national economy, as well as a vital environmental, economic, and tourist hub.

Shumari Nature Reserve
After this area was severely impacted by poaching and the near extinction of its wildlife, the Royal Society for the Conservation of Nature took action in 1975, establishing it as a protected area of 22 square kilometers. It introduced and released rare species, which have since flourished, such as ostriches, Arabian oryx, gazelles, zebras, and several species of rare birds. Today, the reserve provides a safe haven for these endangered species. Visitors can observe and monitor these animals living naturally in a safe environment.
