Today's Location: [Jerusalem, Israel]

The graticule (31,35) contains Jerusalem, much of the southern West Bank, the Dead Sea, and some of Jordan (including the capital, Amman).

Due to the political situation in the Middle East, it may be difficult to travel between these areas to reach geohashes. Therefore, neighbouring graticules or the alternative Israel graticule could be a good fallback option, if their hash locations are more reachable.

On the other hand, the inclusion of the Dead Sea (being the lowest point on Earth) in this graticule makes it the ideal one in which to get the Low Geohash achievement.

Recent and Upcoming Geohashes

Note that many Jordanian hash points have very few details attached because Google maps' descriptions in that country are sparse.

June 24: On a runway -- yes, a runway -- south of Amman, Jordan.
June 25: On Mount Naama, Israel.
June 26: In the outskirts of Amman, Jordan.
