São Tomé and Príncipe is an island country in west-central Africa, consisting of the islands of São Tomé and Príncipe and the surrounding islets, with the capital, São Tomé, located in the northeastern part of São Tomé. Located on the Gulf of Guinea, about 200 kilometers from the African continent, the country was colonized by Portugal in the 15th century and became independent in 1975, with Portuguese as the official language and an economy based on agriculture (cocoa, palm oil) and tourism. It should be noted that "Java" is not a city or region of the country; Java is the main island of Indonesia, with cities such as Jakarta and Surabaya, and has nothing to do with São Tomé and Príncipe, possibly due to a confusion of names.
Der'ātir is an ancient city in southern Jordan, located in the Harran Plain in the Ma'an Governorate near the Syrian border, at an important point along ancient trade routes. The city has a long history dating back to the Bronze Age, having been a border town of the Nabataean Kingdom and later influenced by Roman, Byzantine and Islamic civilizations, leaving behind a rich heritage. The city's Roman theater, ruins of Byzantine churches and old Ottoman-style buildings showcase the charm of multicultural intermingling. As the gateway city of southern Jordan on the border with Syria, Deir el-Atir is not only strategically important, but also an important window to Jordan's history and folklore due to its unique geographical location and deep cultural heritage.
