# SAUDI ARABIA · this post writes the words on /destinations/saudi-arabia

#
# Change the words after a colon, then save. That is the whole job.
#
# A line that starts with # is a note to you. The page never reads it.
# Delete a line and the page keeps the words it was built with.
# Nothing you type in here can break the page.
#
# UNDER MOST LINES SIT TWO SPARE ONES - the size and the colour. They
# are switched off. Take the # off the front to use one:
#
# title: Saudi Arabia
# # title-size: 1x
# # title-colour: #f0d9a8
#
# size 1x is the size it is now. 1.5x is half again bigger,
# 0.8x a fifth smaller. Anything between works too.
# colour a code like #e28d4f, or a plain name like tomato.
#
# Type one wrong and nothing happens. The page keeps what it has.
# ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
# WHAT IS ON THE PAGE

# THE PLACES IN THIS COUNTRY
#
# One site: line per place, in parts separated by bars. The picture at
# the end is optional:
#
# site: NAME | THE VERSE | WHERE WE GO | STATE | a picture link
#
# STATE is one of three words, and decides the little label on the card:
#
# flagship shows as Flagship
# upcoming shows as Upcoming
# future shows as On the horizon
#
# Leave the picture off and the place keeps the one it already has.
#
# An about: line belongs to the site: line above it. It is the longer
# description that opens when somebody taps that place.
#
# These are a list, so there is no one thing to colour - they take their
# size and colour from the design, and so do the words the page writes
# itself: "Why it matters", "On the ground", and the panel at the foot.
site: Jebel al-Lawz | Exodus 19 - the mountain in Midian | On the scouting list | future
about: A peak in the mountains of north-west Arabia, in the land the Bible calls Midian, and one of the serious candidates for the mountain where the Law was given. The question of where Sinai actually stands is old and unsettled, and the ground itself is part of the argument.
site: Al-Bad' | Exodus 2:15 - Moses fled to Midian | On the scouting list | future
about: The oasis traditionally identified with the Midian of Jethro, where Moses stopped at a well, defended seven sisters, and stayed forty years. Nabataean tombs are cut into the rock above the palms.
site: Hegra | The southern reach of Nabataea | On the scouting list | future
about: Mada'in Salih - Petra's sister city and the second capital of the Nabataeans, more than a hundred tombs cut into sandstone outcrops standing free on open desert. The same kingdom, the same masons, four hundred kilometres further south.
