Preserving Biodiversity and Promoting Sustainable Eco-Tourism in Aqaba
Located in Aqaba, the Aqaba Bird Observatory is a premier eco-tourism facility and a vital ecological sanctuary situated along the Rift Valley/Red Sea flyway, the second most important migratory bird route in the world. Encompassing diverse wetland habitats and engineered water basins, the observatory serves as a critical resting stopover for over 270 migratory bird species annually, particularly waterfowl and waders. Managed and developed through a strategic partnership involving the Royal Society for the Conservation of Nature (RSCN), the Aqaba Development Corporation (ADC), and the Aqaba Special Economic Zone Authority (ASEZA), the facility highlights Aqaba's commitment to biodiversity conservation and sustainable eco-tourism.
