Travel to Jordan

Jordan, land of prophets and the sahabas! Which prophet did not travel through? How many sahabas became martyr here? It is said that there have been more than 20,000 ...

Travel from the 17.3.2008 to 21.4.2008. Not much talk, the pictures should speak for themselves. Many thanks to Abdullah, who helped me a lot in different ways, as well as to all the other kind people I met!

Azraq Wetland Reserve:

Nurtured by huge sweet water source, this oasis was once home to elefants, lions, leopards, wild camels, the oryx and other wild animals. That is long ago!

But even until recently hundred thousands of migrating birds made a stop over here on their way from Europe to Africa, until the oasis became sucked empty until the spring died.
