Israel at night, from space. You can literally pick out the outline of the borders of the State of Israel, compared to a remarkable lack of development from the surrounding countries – Jordan to the right, Sinai of Egypt to the bottom, even Greece and Turkey above past Lebanon, and Syria to the top right. The bright light to the bottom left is Egypt, which is literally built 100% around the Nile river and Nile river delta – the rest of the country is EMPTY. Israel makes even the deserts bloom…and light up at night.
