On my way back to Amman, decided to pay Madaba a visit. A city better known as Mosaic City.
Saw this wind turbine while on my way north to Madaba . Over 90% of Jordan's energy are imported. This made having sustainable energy production locally even more crucial.
Founded 4,500 years ago, Madaba flourished during the Byzantine era as a regional center of religious life.

Some mosaics as old as 1400 year-old.
There are a number of churches and private museum to cater for different interests group. You choose what interests you the most and all are in short walking distance.
