Tawahin as-Sukkar Medieval Sugar Factory

Tawahin as-Sukkar is one of the clearest places to encounter the industrial history of the southern Jordan Valley.

Fifa Nature Reserve in Jordan

Fifa Nature Reserve protects a low-lying wetland landscape at the southern end of Jordan's Dead Sea. Salt-tolerant vegetation, freshwater and saline habitats, and the reserve's position on a major bird migration route make it markedly different from the resort shore around Sweimeh.
