Jordan, specifically the Desert Castles region, experiences a significant mosquito population due to its hot and humid climate. Mosquitoes thrive in these conditions, making them a common nuisance for residents and tourists alike. The presence of stagnant water sources in the area also contributes to the mosquito population, providing ideal breeding grounds for these pesky insects.
