The Gulf of Aqaba is famous for its diversity of aquatic wildlife. Aqaba is located on the northeastern part of the Red Sea, and its bay extends 180 km in length and 25 km in width, on a coastline shared by Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Jordan and occupied Palestine. The Gulf of Aqaba contains the largest marine coral ecosystem in the Far North of the Earth. With an average water temperature of 23 degrees Celsius, storm-free weather and moderate currents, the Gulf of Aqaba provides an ideal environment for marine corals to incubate and flourish. The moderate salinity of its waters makes it an ideal place for a large variety of marine organisms. The Gulf of Aqaba contains 110 species of soft corals and 120 species of hard corals. The Gulf's extensive coral reefs contain more than a thousand species of fish, corals, crustaceans, and mammals, all of which live in its waters.

The reserve, with its magnificent natural scenery, extends to the Karak and Madaba mountains 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 1,300 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 migratory and non-migratory bird genera 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. The sandstone slopes of Wadi Mujib are an ideal habitat for one of the world's most important mountain goat species, the Nubian ibex. Note: Wadi Mujib and all valleys in Jordan are closed during the winter months.
