The park is renowned for its central feature—a thriving wetland that serves as a haven for migratory birds, offering significant appeal to birdwatchers and ecologists. Throughout the year, the park’s wetland sees an influx of diverse avian species, including flamingos, ducks, and pelicans, making it an exemplary location for observing wildlife in their natural habitat. Historical remnants within the region suggest a place touched by human activity over millennia, with traces of ancient civilizations lingering in its surroundings.
