Hilltop core
The old town sits on a rise, and its streets curve around the slope in an irregular pattern that stands out against the straighter roads of newer districts.

The map
About this Mādabā map poster
Mādabā stands on the high plateau about thirty kilometres south-west of Amman, along the ancient King's Highway. The town is built on and around a low hill, the older core occupying the rise with streets winding outward, and the surrounding land open and agricultural before the plateau drops away westward towards the Jordan Valley and the Dead Sea.
It is known as the City of Mosaics. The most celebrated is the Madaba Map, a sixth-century floor mosaic in the Church of Saint George that depicts the region and Jerusalem in remarkable detail and is the oldest surviving map of the Holy Land. Many other mosaics from the Byzantine period survive in churches and houses across town.
Mount Nebo, where Moses is said to have seen the Promised Land, lies a short drive to the west. There is a pleasing symmetry in a Mādabā map poster: a modern map of a town whose name is already tied to one of the most famous maps ever made, drawn this time in clean black lines.

King's Highway
The ancient route passes through the town on its way south, a long line on the map that has connected settlements on the plateau for thousands of years.
Edge of the plateau
West of the town the land slopes down towards Mount Nebo and the Dead Sea basin, so the roads begin to bend and follow the terrain.

Why Mādabā
A map that means something
Mādabā draws visitors who come for the mosaics and pilgrims on their way to Mount Nebo, and many want something to remember it by beyond photographs. The poster can carry your own title, a travel date in the subtitle and the exact coordinates.
Paper and Sand echo the stone and earth tones of the plateau, while Noir, Blueprint and Classic black & white give a crisper finish. Begin with a free watermarked preview, then choose the $9 HD files or a printed matte poster.
