Ajloun Forest Biosphere Reserve is one of Jordan’s leading eco-tourism destinations, protecting a rare Mediterranean forest ecosystem in the green highlands of the north. Just over an hour from Amman, the reserve safeguards oak, pine, and pistachio woodlands that support rich biodiversity, including the reintroduced roe deer. Carefully designed walking trails allow visitors to explore the forest at a gentle pace while learning about conservation, wildlife, and the importance of protecting Jordan’s natural heritage.
Eco-friendly cabins within the reserve offer visitors the chance to stay overnight and experience the forest in its quietest moments, from evening birdsong to misty morning views. Community-based tourism and sustainable practices ensure that every visit supports local livelihoods and long-term conservation efforts. Ajloun Forest Biosphere Reserve is not just a place to visit, but a living example of how responsible travel can protect nature while creating meaningful experiences.
