Madaba, Jordan, is known as "The City of Mosaics." The famous Madaba Mosaic Map was found here and is preserved in the floor of a Greek Orthodox Church. With two million tiny pieces of colored stone, the map depicts the Middle East in the 6th century AD. We were fascinated to see this old work of art as well as to watch workers create new works of art in a mosaic factory in Madaba.
