UAE astronaut Sultan Al Neyadi has shared an image of Amman from space in celebration of Jordan's independence day.
Taken from about 408km above the Earth, the photo shows Jordan's capital at night.
Sharing an image on social media, Dr Al Neyadi wrote: "Saluting Jordan on their Independence Day.
"A beacon of Arab culture and boundless generosity set against the enigmatic backdrop of the Dead Sea, Jordan seamlessly blends heritage and natural charm.
"Here is a snap of Amman, a city that holds a special place in our hearts."
Jordan's independence day commemorates the country’s independence from Great Britain in 1946.
The 42-year-old has posted photos of several Middle East countries, including Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Bahrain and Qatar and his home country the UAE.
On Tuesday, he celebrated his birthday with a call to his hometown Al Ain and told the audience gathered at the UAE University that he misses his mother's cooking.
Colleagues on board the International Space Station (ISS) also surprised Dr Al Neyadi with a birthday cake and other treats.
Dr Al Neyadi arrived on the ISS on March 3 for a six-month science mission.
He has been taking part in science experiments and also carried out the first spacewalk by an Arab astronaut, when he ventured outside for a seven-hour maintenance assignment.
He was joined by two Saudi astronauts, Rayyanah Barnawi and Ali Al Qarni, and two Americans on May 22.

Other ways to buy used products in the UAE
UAE insurance firm Al Wathba National Insurance Company (AWNIC) last year launched an e-commerce website with a facility enabling users to buy car wrecks.
Bidders and potential buyers register on the online salvage car auction portal to view vehicles, review condition reports, or arrange physical surveys, and then start bidding for motors they plan to restore or harvest for parts.
Physical salvage car auctions are a common method for insurers around the world to move on heavily damaged vehicles, but AWNIC is one of the few UAE insurers to offer such services online.
For cars and less sizeable items such as bicycles and furniture, Dubizzle is arguably the best-known marketplace for pre-loved.
Founded in 2005, in recent years it has been joined by a plethora of Facebook community pages for shifting used goods, including Abu Dhabi Marketplace, Flea Market UAE and Arabian Ranches Souq Market while sites such as The Luxury Closet and Riot deal largely in second-hand fashion.
At the high-end of the pre-used spectrum, resellers such as Timepiece360.ae, WatchBox Middle East and Watches Market Dubai deal in authenticated second-hand luxury timepieces from brands such as Rolex, Hublot and Tag Heuer, with a warranty.
