Wild Life
   The Azraq Oasis derives its name from the Arabic word "Azraq", meaning blue. In the past, the pools, marshes and streams of Azraq formed a sparkling blue jewel in the desert, a haven for up to a million migrating, breeding and wintering birds. Despite the loss of most of the permanent wetland habitat during the past decade due to a lack of rainfall, Azraq continues to provide a seasonal habitat for a large number of wildlife species.

Accommodation
    The Azraq reserve lodge, a cozy common room with a fireplace, is set within the beautiful surroundings of Azraq. In addition to the lodge, 10 private two-room bungalows are available to accommodate the visiting tourist. Bookings can be made  at the RSCN (headquarters in Amman) or on site at the RSCN Lodge.
Book guided tours and information can be found at the visitors' center that also holds a small exhibit on the nature and history of Azraq, a lecture room, and a aquarium.
