 Conclusion
Through the study of plant life, I noticed that
there is a large group of unused agricultural
lands (uncultivated) and there is no interest
in plant life in the region in terms of the type
of trees planted, and that most of the
planted trees are evergreen and planted
randomly and irregularly, and also the use of
greenhouses in abundance, especially In the
Al-Abrar area, and the Al-Yadoudeh area has
a high population density, it is possible in the
future to establish a public park in the area
for its residents to picnic .

The existing transportation

and is easy to access and use. As for the Al-Abrar

area and the Ghamdan area, the transportation is
far from it.
All transportation lines pass from Madaba
Street, which is far from the areas in the middle
and on the left side towards the Airport Road. It
was suggested that there be a transportation line
that passes at least in the middle of Zaid Bin
Khaled Street and Omar Lutfi Street to be closer
to those areas and make it easier for residents to
access and use them.
