Wild Jordan - a city retreat for nature lovers



Good evening,

I'm back with the 2nd episode of my series: "If you were in Jabal Amman, You have to see!",

Today was a shiny day so I was happy all the time .. And I wanted this episode to be an excellent and exciting one, I changed my clothes & took my K800i phone & headed directly to Wild Jordan, It’s about 500 meters far of my house .. So I walked to there and once I arrived I asked the Reception girl if it’s possible to take snapshots for the place & take some brochures to prepare my review .. She was so hospitable with me and told that I can photograph all the place except the nature shop .. I thanked her & started my journey in the place .. I opened the lens cover of my phone’s camera and start taking snapshots for many interesting features there .. After about 20 minutes of walking and taking snapshots I took two brochures and thanked the staff there then I left the place heading to my home .. I’ve quoted some information about the center from the brochures for you and here they’re:

What is it?

A revolutionary center devoted to promoting Jordan’s natural heritage, where you can help to save Jordan’s wildlife and wild places without leaving the city.

A place with stunning views of old Amman, fascinating architecture and unique shopping & eating experiences.

What does it offer?

The biggest nature shop in the region.

An amazing café with electric views.

Environmental internet.

Tourist information to show you how to visit Jordan’s natural treasures.

Fully equipped conference & training rooms.

A building with environment friendly credentials.

A chance to help nature without leaving the city.

Where is it?

Wild Jordan is in Jebel Amman, one of capital’s oldest neighborhoods. It will be a hub for those who want to know more about the city’s history and explore its old areas.

Perched high above the old city, it is one of the few locations that offers panoramic views across the Umayyad and Roman ruins of Jeb el Qala. It is also a brilliant place to see the famous Jordan flag.

It can be reached via Rainbow Street from First Circle as shown on the map.

Who has created Wild Jordan?

Wild Jordan is the vision of the Royal Society for the Conservation of Nature (RSCN), a non-governmental organization devoted to the care and protection of Jordan’s natural heritage. The Society was created in 1966 under the patronage of His Majesty, the late King Hussein, Its work is focused on the establishment of protected areas (nature reserves), enforcement of wildlife protection laws, socioeconomic development and environmental research and education.
