About the Site

King Talal Dam is considered one of the largest dams in Jordan, with a storage capacity of 75 million cubic metres. The dam was constructed in 1977. The dam is located in Jerash Governorate, specifically in the Tal Rumman Heights area. It is a type of rockfill dam and has a length of 109 meters.  It forms a large reservoir of water in Zarqa Valley, where the Zarqa River is considered the main source of inflow to the dam. The river has two main sources that make it flow greatly. The first source is rainwater and surface runoff, and the second source is groundwater, which flows from the far east.

King Talal Dam is characterized by its unique geographical location, featuring diverse landforms that attract tourists to enjoy the varied and stunning natural landscapes.  The dam area is considered a natural painting that the Creator created in terms of beauty and accuracy. The area attracts many Jordanian tourists to enjoy seeing the beautiful and natural landmarks. Scattered along the dam extension.
