&lt;p&gt;I&#39;m struggling to find words to describe my trip to Jordan&#39;s coastal city Aqaba. Initially, the contrast between dry desert, rocky mountains, and the turquoise water of the Red Sea is visually striking — imagine Matt Damon in &lt;a href=&#34;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Martian_(film)&#34;&gt;&lt;em&gt;The Martian&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, but where he goes snorkeling on a coral reef instead of growing potatoes.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;p&gt;There&#39;s a unique wetland nature preserve an hour and a half from Amman — in thirty minutes of walking around, I saw birds, snakes, crabs, fish, and even water buffaloes! For thousands of years Azraq was a massive, thriving oasis whose ecological diversity supported human settlements, but in recent decades it has come dangerously close to drying up due to increased water usage from surrounding cities.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
