The Wasit Nature Reserve is located at a meeting point between the land and the\u00a0sea. It features extensive dunes, mud flats and salty lagoons, as well as fresh water\u00a0pools, and is part of an ancient chain of historical wetlands along the Gulf coast. The\u00a0reserve supports a wide range of wetland wildlife, providing food, nesting and shelter\u00a0opportunities .<\/p>\n

At its heart, the Wasit Wetland Centre brings visitors up close to coastal bird\u00a0populations. Hosting over 60 species of resident and migratory birds, it offers unique\u00a0viewing opportunities across large aviaries and from multiple hides.<\/p>\n

The centre also provides educational opportunities for visitors, with detailed bird\u00a0information and activities, along with a cafeteria.<\/p>\n
