Sad to see that water is still being drained from Azraq despite the work of the RSCN and the Government's undertaking to reduce illegal pumping and replenish. It's future is very much in the balance. It would be a great loss. Needs support.
Shaumari - undertaking breeding programmes for Oryx, Gazelle and Bustards. 2 hour safari very enjoyable.
Knowlegeable and committed guides in both locations.
Our driver was very informative and friendly. Gave a lot of information about Jordan, it's history and culture also.
Took us to have lunch in a local restaurant - best lamb ever and delicious salad. But not for the squeamish - carcasses hanging up outside the shop!
Would definitely recommend this excursion if you are interested in environmental issues and nature.
