Wadi Mujib is definitely the coolest spot in Jordan. Anyone who comes to visit will be getting a hiking excursion whether they like it or not. Beware of the fish that nibble 🐟

Due mari in due giorni.
Il Mar Rosso di Aqaba, il blu più serio che io abbia visto. E il Mar Morto, che non è un mare e non è morto: il punto più basso della Terra, ormai 440 metri sotto il livello del mare. E ogni anno più in basso di circa un metro.
Il cartello indica dove arrivava l’acqua nel 2012. Negli anni Trenta il livello scendeva di 17 centimetri l’anno; oggi sei volte più in fretta.
Il tramonto qui non si riflette. Raddoppia.
Spiegel im Spiegel, specchio nello specchio.
