A Map and a Lens JORDAN is a photographic pursuit of Jordan’s beauty. This new book captures an unprecedented collection of cultural and religious sites in Jordan, which Bashar has spent the last five years on. Bashar’s goal throughout was to explore and artistically document Jordan’s most captivating and overlooked treasures in order to share with the world.

Between photographing these locations, he also researched and wrote an estimated 75,000 words of corresponding historical context and background. In the 16 months it took to complete this initial phases of the project Bashar had visited over 230 locations, covered a distance of 35,000 km, shot over 20,000 photographs, and spent a cumulative 30 days on the road with 26 off-road excursions and 15 night shoots.

His stunning photographs, supported with maps, timelines, and informative texts, are pieced together in his photo project to create not just a work of art, but a unique tool that can elevate any campaign to promote Jordan both locally and worldwide.
