You Are Here – Jordan
New week – new release. This time it is Starbucks You Are Here Jordan mug. The Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan is the official name of this Western-Asian country strategically located at the crossroads of Asia, Africa and Europe. Here’s what we see on the front of the mug:
– Al-Khazneh – “The Treasury” (arabic) – is one of the most amazing temples in the ancient Arab Nabatean Kingdom city of Petra (a historical and archaeological city in southern Jordan). This structure is completely carved out of a sandstone rock.
– Camel – is a domestic animal, common to Middle East, Africa and Central Asia. Did you know that one-humped camel is called dromedary and it makes up to 90% of all camel population? The rest of the population is two-humped Bactrian camel. Btw, camel rides is a very popular tourist attraction.
