Zarqa Governorate Essentials

Zarqa Governorate contains some of Jordan’s most significant Umayyad desert castles, including the UNESCO-listed Quseir Amra, renowned for its 8th-century frescoes. The region’s landscape is defined by basalt desert and unique ecological sites like the Azraq Wetland Reserve, a vital stopover for migratory birds. Visitors can explore Roman military architecture at Qasr al-Azraq and witness conservation efforts at the Shaumari Wildlife Reserve, which serves as a sanctuary for the reintroduced Arabian oryx.
