Mujib Biosphere Reserve is the lowest natural reserve in the world, located in the deep valley of Mujib, not far east of the Dead Sea, at a depth of 410 meters below sea level. The reserve, with its magnificent natural landscapes, extends to the mountains of Karak and Madaba in the north and south, reaching a level of 900 meters above sea level in some places. Wadi Mujib has an amazing biodiversity that is still being explored and documented to this day, as a result of its elevation difference of up to 1300 m and the flow of water in the valley throughout the year from seven tributaries. More than 300 genera of plants, ten genera of carnivores, and many genera of migratory and non-migratory birds have been documented. The reserve - specifically in some remote and inaccessible areas in the mountains and valleys - is a safe haven for rare species of cats, goats and mountain animals.
