Ma-Da-Ba Graffiti in Madaba, Jordan. The graffiti depicts the name of the town in Arabic — from right to left, the characters are &#8220;Ma&#8221;, &#8220;da&#8221;, &#8220;ba&#8221; — incorporating the Jordanian flag in each set of characters. Deciphering graffiti and the calligraphy was a big motivating factor for wanting to learn (a little) of the language.
