You wouldn't have used any umm... unorthodox methods now wouldja?

We have members here on this forum from Houston, but they didn't get it...

This spire should be pretty distinctive to anyone who has been there.

A famous landmark of this city. Part of the film, "Queen of the Damned" was filmed here.

[Bumin Khan]

Jafar my brother

You always make good deal!!! :)

[jafar00]

Though this looks obscure. In fact it's quite famous. Known as "the place almost at the other end of the world" which is a rough entomological derivation of the meaning of it's name.

http://img37.picoodle.com/img/img37/3/11/13/f_5m_29336e7.jpg

The town, like many places in West Africa is almost totally made of mud! Just like this Mosque.

http://img03.picoodle.com/img/img03/3/11/13/f_1m_e949998.jpg

It also has a great wall.... Made of mud of course...

http://img33.picoodle.com/img/img33/3/11/13/f_2m_cee76ba.jpg

This place is widely believed to have had one of the world's first universities. It was a place of learning, and even today the local scholars boast a well preserved collection of ancient Greek texts which in the middle ages were transcribed into Arabic, Hebrew and other languages to preserve and disseminate the knowledge. One of the Universities was built in 1581 and is still standing to this day, and still a University! This University was built upon the ruins of a yet older University.

This is a 16th century Ottoman-Turkish bridge also brige was same named with the city.

The bridge was destroyed by Croatian Defence Council units during the War, on November 9, 1993. Slobodan Praljak, the commander of the Croat forces, is currently on trial at the ICTY for ordering the destruction of the bridge, among other charges.Consequently, a project was set in motion to rebuild it, and the new bridge opened on July 23, 2004.

Once upon a time, in a land far far away, there was a place famous for it's Archery. One archer in particular is mentioned in many legendary tales.

Just observe ancient Byzantine capital :)

and look at the bazaar picture, there is also a flag clue :D

and look at the third picture, the buildings background

[PatrickHenry]

Well, I'll take a stab at it, even though I am not sure.

In the third photo, it looks like the Hagia Sofia in the far background which would suggest to me the biggest city of your nation.

Istanbul, Turkey?

No not Cameroon, and that´s not a prison break, the people are climbing over the border INTO Europe, but it´s in Africa??- so where am I?

[jose]

It´s the Spanish town of Melilla, north Africa

I don't really know this place in Turkey.

Ottoman Palaces generally in Istanbul but second photo is not Istanbul photo because there are mountains and hily area...

Maybe Bursa but Bursa has Uludag mountain and its size is not like that

[jose]

And has great skiing

[Bumin Khan]

what about its history ?

[jafar00]

Yeah this could be Iran.

How about a little history of the area? Can you give some hints like that without being too obvious?

[jose]

Once a Muslim kingdom, the capital owes it´s name to a fruit, its last Muslim ruler was berated by his mother, not to weep like a women, for that he did not defend as a man

[Bumin Khan]

What is the first letter of city ? :help:

[PatrickHenry]

Córdoba/ Al-Andalus :D
Beat me to it bro ;)

Though I was going to say Toledo, also a place of great advancements in knowledge due to Muslim, Christian and Jewish scholars working together for the common good.

[jose]

The clue should be the Ski resort

[jafar00]

Granada?

[jose]

Granada, the Alhambra Palace, and skiing at Sierra Nevada

I will accept 2 namings for this city. The current name, and the former which is also the name of the river that runs through it.

[PatrickHenry]

Ho Chi Minh City...isn't that a statue of Uncle Ho in your photo?

Vietnam's largest city on the banks of the Saigon River?

Another clue, All the Inhabitants of this small Island were expelled to make way for the Base

[PatrickHenry]

Another clue, All the Inhabitants of this small Island were expelled to make way for the Base
That would be Diego Garcia, in the Chagos archipelago.

May the militaries who siezed the island and depopulated it (of the helpless natives) be forever damned to hell fire.

[Bumin Khan]

Cyprus :p :p :p

Well, you said it was northern and you dont get much more northern than that ;)

My submission to follow :)

[jafar00]

This beautiful city grew from humble beginnings. First settled before 3000 BC, it was mostly thatched palm frond housing with the rich families able to live in mud huts. However, starting in the late 20th century, like most areas in the region it has boomed.

http://img19.picoodle.com/img/img19/3/3/17/jafar00/f_1m_cb05111.jpg
As you can see, the discovery of a certain commodity caused the mud huts to be upgraded ;) Now it is one of the richest cities in the world.

Hotter than pee from my experience of the region ;)

[Bumin Khan]

My Hometown :)

This small town was added to the list of UNESCO World Heritage sites in 1994 because of its well-preserved Ottoman era houses and architecture. (So, I am 100% Ottoman :dork: )

The Turkish government banned new/foreign settlers to protect history. (But I can :) )

If you decide to come my hometown one day, you should eat Turkish delights there.

We make the best Turkish delights.

[Bumin Khan]

Yeah your turn...

BTW, in my hometown, we cultivate most expensive saffrons in the World, generally it pass father to son... but I am an exception.

1 gram is 10 $

[Truth_and_Power]

So your father did not pass his down to you?

Where Am I?

This carribean island has been owned by multiple countries like most in the region. It was the site of a very significant early slave rebellion in the 1700's. The slaves took control of the island for six months but were eventually defeated. Rather than be captured and re-enslaved, the last of the rebellion committed suicide on a southern peninsula of the island.

It is mostly national park, but has about 5,000 residents and is a popular but less-traveled vacation destination. There is no airport on the island, but you can fly into a nearby island and take a ferry over to it. It is infested with wild donkeys, and the snorkeling is sublime.

When the power goes out, exasperated tourists ask when it will come back on. The locals reply, "Whenever they fix it. Welcome to _______."

[jafar00]

Yeah your turn...

Damn. Saffron in Egypt is dead cheap. It's about 1le (less than 20c) a gram here :p

[Bumin Khan]

Our Saffron only grows in Safranbolu and with highest quality. Some farmer tried to cultivate Safranbolu saffrons in other regions, they couldn't success.

[Professor]

OK...

Let's try something really exotic

http://static1.bareka.com/photos/medium/15762096.jpg

This is a national capital city and here's the seat of government.

Climate's pretty cold there.

Population about one million.

Suburbia
http://mw2.google.com/mw-panoramio/photos/medium/4245491.jpg

But the typical city scene might be a bit more like this
http://mw2.google.com/mw-panoramio/photos/medium/10832112.jpg

[jafar00]

Andorra La Vella, Andorra?

[PatrickHenry]

It's not in Europe.

And the CITY is a million, not the nation.

I bet Andorra has a better aspect than that typical slum scene...

[jafar00]

I must admit, the images you posted don't make it obvious ;)

It looks like it's at high altitude and with a load of slums.

La Paz, Bolivia?

[PatrickHenry]
