The city of Madaba is an anomaly in Jordan due to its sizable Christian population. And there in Madaba, at St. George Greek Orthodox Church, is the oldest biblical map in the world. It is actually mosaicked into the church floor. I took a very strange route through this hillside town to reach the church and the map, and ironically got very lost trying to return to my car. It took me about 2 hours to find it. My original plan was to spend the "magic hour" on Mount Nebo, the spot where Moses first saw the Promised Land and then died at age 120, but instead I took magic hour shots of chickens in cages.
