The reserve consists of fish-ponds, pools, papyrus beds and a reservoir set in an area of cultivated land. The area to the north of the reserve was drained and cultivated long ago but in the mid-1990s it was re-flooded in an attempt to recreate the former bird-rich habitat. The reserve and surrounding area is one of the best birding sites in Israel if not the entire Western Palearctic.
