Jordan has a unique location, nestled at the tip of the Arabian Peninsula where the edges of three continents overlap: Asia, Africa and Europe. This small country lies at the heart of major bird migratory routes and has a diverse geology and natural landscape as well, which hosts a large variety of flora and fauna including numerous bird species. Remnants of the rich history of the area are scattered throughout the entire country, and thus most of the main birding sites in Jordan are within or near major tourism attractions.
