One of the Only Borders Visible From Space: Israel and Egypt

This photograph, taken From the International Space Station by none other than a space satellite, depicts an aerial view of the border between the countries of Israel and Egypt, which is coincidentally also the border between Africa and the Middle East. On the left, you can see the great desert lands of Sinai Peninsula, Egypt, and on the right are the manifold urban areas of Israel. It's crazy that you can see the border from space.

As in, the difference between the actual geography of the lands is so intense that it is literally visible from space. Guess that's just what happens when you build a lot of cities.
