INTRODUCTION:
The valley of Berta, which is located IN Jordan, Madaba within the Haidan region , is a treasures of the place , The area is characterized by an unrivaled magical nature, eyes of hot and cold water, penetrating high volcanic mountains inlaid with black rock masses. Some of these rocks are arranged in a circular way, similar to tree trunks and others in the form of rectangles very exquisite and perfect. The temperature of some water springs in the region reaches more than 60 degrees Celsius and one of the waterfalls of Berta with its hot water reaches some of the cold water.
The Haidan region suffers from several limitation.First of all There is not enough media attention in the Wadi Al-Haidan region in general and the area of the Barta valley in particular. Also, No easy roads for Wadi Al-Haidan and its parts, witch describe the Difficulty of access to the Valley of Berta and its riskiness, because of all these proplems,
wadi barta is not known for most people.

The chosen site is a waterfall 60 meters in a large circular water basin with a diameter of about 65 meters. It is rich in the eyes of hot water, which is considered therapeutic water because it is rich in natural minerals. The water level in this basin is 8-11 meters.

This place is an attraction for the climbers who come to this place for recreation and rest and the overnight is one of the most prominent activities in this place.

The site is a destination for people without a project, so this project was chosen in this place.
