This reserve was created in 1975 near Azraq in the eastern desert, covering an area of 22 square kilometers. It was designated for the reintroduction of the Arabian Oryx, which had started to become extinct, and it is home to various species of wild birds. Visitors to the reserve can embark on a safari trip among the wild animals.
