Know Jordan Photo 1 answer + Photo 2.

Well, you're probably wondering what that first photo was posted on 6 November – neither respondent was correct. It is in fact a view of the Hammamaat Ma'in – the Wadi of Zarka-Ma'in and its hot thermal springs. The view is taken from the opposite mountain looking northwards towards Madaba. And for those who would like some background reading on Ma'in hotsprings – here is one written for Saudi Aramco magazine in 1995- rather out of date I know, but interesting all the same. The hotel is now under new management, called the Janna Spa and Resort …. And you can no longer go along for the day to the so-called 'public areas' without paying a JD 10 fee per person, just for the privilege.

Here's an easy one: where am I and what's that monstrous building? J

Rebecca - absolutely correct, think it was a bit too easy though, thanks for participating. Have decided to make them a lot more difficult from now on, so expect some optical illusions as well! J
