  • Rusifa is part of Zarqa county , it’s the main source of phosphate in Jordan and the new studies showed that uranium is found with very good quality and quantity . The population is almost 700,000 people most of them came from gulf after the war in 1991 . Rusifa is divided in the middle by the ottoman train railway and Zarqa river in the past ( now dried )
  • thank you.
