You could easily lose yourself — both literally and figuratively — in the endless red sand and towering rock skyscrapers of Wadi Rum. This majestic place, known to even the Greeks and the Romans, has been inhabited for thousands of years and is unlike any other place on Earth. The unique landscape has been featured in a handful of Hollywood movies, for example [_Lawrence of Arabia_](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lawrence_of_Arabia_(film)) and [_The Martian_](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Martian_(film)).

Take a local [Bedouin](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bedouin) guide, sleep in a tent, and experience the beautiful tranquility of Jordan's desert expanses.

This allows me to use Hugo's image resizing to create img srcsets
where the client downloads an appropriate image depending on their
screen size.

I had to go back and find original photos for each of these posts
because Hugo was resizing my already-optimized versions and they
looked horrible. Unfortunately I couldn't find originals for these
posts:
  - aqaba-dirty-disappointing
  - contemporary-arab-design-jrf-showroom
  - eid-mubarak-neighborhood-dumpster
  - no-noise-near-noisy-mosque
  - red-orange-yellow-rice-bab-al-yemen

Hugo will fall back to looking in the static directory for these.
