The Shaumari Wildlife Reserve is a nature reserve in Jordan, near the town of Azraq, approximately 100 km east of Amman. It is a regionally important reserve created in 1975 by the Royal Society for the Conservation of Nature as a breeding center for endangered or locally extinct wildlife. The 22-square-kilometre reserve is a thriving protected environment for some of the most threatened species of animals in the Middle East, including Arabian oryx, Somali ostriches, Persian onagers, and gazelles. Visitors can observe these animals in their natural habitat and learn about the reserve's conservation efforts. The reserve also provides an opportunity for scientific research and education, making it a great place to visit for families and nature lovers
