- This is the national flower of Jordan. It is the beautiful black iris. We can see it in the spring. We don’t usually see this flower in our garden. It grows in the countryside because it likes the soil and the weather in the wild.
- This lovely bird is the Sinai rosefinch. It is Jordan’s national bird. The Sinai rosefinch is the same red colour as our famous city, Petra. There are a lot of these birds in Jordan.
- The national colours of Jordan are red, black, white and green. The flag of Jordan has these colours and a star with seven points. These colours show the past of the country.
- I took this photo from the top of the tower at the Shaumari Nature Reserve. The photo shows Jordan’s national animal, the Arabian oryxes. They are safe now because they live at the nature reserve
