Feynan Reserve
 

Feynan Reserve spans the impressive expanses of Wadi Araba in southern Jordan. This nature reserve is notably recognized for its rich history and vibrant ecosystems, which thrive amidst the arid desert environment. The geological features include rugged mountains, sweeping valleys, and an expansive desert terrain that is both dramatic and alluring. Historically, this area has been inhabited since ancient times, evidenced by the existence of early copper mines and ancient ruins. Feynan is not only a haven for trekking and adventurous exploration but also a significant site for bird watching, with many local and migratory species present. The reserve offers several hiking trails leading through its varied landscape, allowing visitors to explore its natural beauty closely.
