Madaba is an ancient city in west-central Jordan, about 30 kilometers south of the capital Amman, located in the historical hinterland of the Moabites and known as the "City of Mosaics". With a history of more than 3,000 years, the city is known as the place where Moses drew water, as recorded in the Bible, and was an important religious center during the Byzantine period. The city's most famous church, St. George's, houses the world's oldest surviving mosaic map of the Holy Land - a 6th century Byzantine map depicting Jerusalem, the Dead Sea, and other areas - a treasure of medieval geographical art. Walking through Midbar, the Roman period colonnade, early Christian church ruins and Ottoman traditional houses are intertwined, strolling along the stone road of the ancient city, touching the millennium mosaic with your fingertips, as if you have traveled through time and space, and feeling the thickness and tolerance of Jordanian civilization.
Mayahi is a town in south-central Niger, about 300 km southeast of the capital city of Niamey, and belongs to the Maradi Region, which is one of the important agricultural and commercial centers in the region. With a predominantly savannah climate and distinct wet and dry seasons, the inhabitants are mostly engaged in traditional agriculture, mainly cultivating millet, sorghum, peanuts and other crops, with a certain proportion of animal husbandry. As an area inhabited by the Hausa people, Mayahi retains a strong traditional Nigerian culture, with daily communication in Hausa and a vibrant marketplace for the distribution of agricultural products. Despite its relatively simple infrastructure, the town is quiet and simple, showing the living style of the interior of Niger, and is a window to the local farming culture and community life.
