<p>I&rsquo;m struggling to find words to describe my trip to Jordan&rsquo;s coastal city Aqaba. Initially, the contrast between dry desert, rocky mountains, and the turquoise water of the Red Sea is quite strikingimagine Matt Damon in <em>The Martian</em>, but where he goes snorkeling on a coral reef instead of growing potatoes.</p>

<p>The <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_Hussein_Mosque">King Hussein mosque</a> was built in 2005 and is the largest mosque in Jordan. I haven&rsquo;t visited it yet, but I&rsquo;ve spent quite a few evenings admiring it from a balcony in the <em>Khalda</em> neighborhood of West Amman.</p>

<p>Another day, another exquisite, hand-painted ceiling in Amman. Just like the <a href="/2016/09/beautiful-hand-painted-woodwork/">other hand-painted wood ceiling</a> I posted about a few weeks ago, the work was done by an old Syrian man. This one is actually in my flat, and I may or may not have taken this picture while laying on my back on the living room floor.</p>
