点评:Being used to birding in Wadi Rum, where sightings can be few and far between, I really enjoyed my visit to the Aqaba Bird Observatory.
Getting there was straightforward, and the border checkpoint was relaxed. They no longer keep your passport. On arrival, I received a warm welcome and a clear explanation of the area. There’s a map available at the visitor center, and if it’s your first visit, it’s worth taking a photo of it before heading out.
A great bonus is that you can borrow binoculars if you don’t have your own. The staff is passionate, knowledgeable, and happy to help, which adds a lot to the experience.
I ended up spending around four hours. It’s a peaceful place, with very few visitors, making it ideal for focused birding. If you’re looking to see a wide variety of species in a relatively short time, this is definitely a place to consider, especially during migration season when activity is at its peak.
Since you’ll be exposed to the sun for most of the visit, it’s a good idea to wear protective clothing and a hat.
I will be back soon!
翻译:我以前常去瓦迪拉姆观鸟,那里鸟类稀少,所以这次去亚喀巴鸟类观测站感觉非常棒。
去那里很方便,边境检查也很宽松,他们现在不再扣留护照了。抵达后,我受到了热情接待,工作人员也清楚地介绍了这里的情况。游客中心有地图,如果是第一次来,建议出发前拍张照片。
还有一个很棒的福利是,如果你没有望远镜,可以借用。工作人员热情友好、知识渊博,而且乐于助人,这大大提升了观鸟体验。
我最后在那里待了大约四个小时。这里环境清幽,游客不多,非常适合专心观鸟。如果你想在相对较短的时间内看到各种各样的鸟类,这里绝对值得考虑,尤其是在候鸟迁徙的高峰期。
由于游览期间大部分时间都会暴露在阳光下,建议穿着防晒衣物并戴上帽子。
我很快就会回来!
