Flora & Fauna

The Middle East is home to much more biodiversity than you might think, both in the desert areas and in the wooded Mediterranean regions.
Nature and Bird Watching

The Middle East is more diverse than you may think, all of Israel, Jordan and Egypt have areas which are desert and areas which are incredibly green and verdant.  Additionally, you may think of the desert as barren, but in reality there are a whole world of desert animals, insects, birds and plants to discover. Explored at the right times, with the right guides, the desert can be a nature lovers’ paradise, while the region’s forests and wetlands team with biodiversity much of the year.

  • Bird watching

    An extraordinary 500 million birds pass through Israel every spring and autumn, with 530 different species recorded.

  • Desert Flora & Fauna
