Ajloun Forest Reserve, Forest reserve in Ajloun Governorate, Jordan
The 13-square-kilometer reserve contains evergreen oak forests, carob trees, and black iris flowers spread across rolling hills and Mediterranean valleys.
The Royal Society for the Conservation of Nature established this protected area in 1988 to safeguard Jordan's woodland regions and native wildlife species.
The reserve integrates local communities through its soap house and calligraphy house, where visitors learn traditional Jordanian crafting methods.
Located 80 kilometers north of Amman, the reserve offers tented lodges and cabins for overnight stays between March and November.
The reserve maintains a specialized breeding program for roe deer, which disappeared from local forests, while protecting numerous bird species in designated areas.
