Nabq Protected Area embraces the Gulf of Aqaba coast and its hinterland between Sharm el Sheikh and Dahab. This unique 600 square kilometer area of wadi systems, sand dunes, alluvial plains and salt marches supports a relatively diverse animal and plant life.
Gazelles, hyrax, Nubian ibex and foxes, as well as a variety of reptile and invertebrate species, have been recorded here. Birdwatchers particularly enjoy sightings of herons, spoonbills, ospreys, gulls, terns and storks. |
