Topic Wiki

Posting Rules:
-Post your own pictures that you took yourself.
-Only the correct guesser gets to post a picture, pictures posted by non-winners will be deleted.
-If 2 hours have passed since the winner was crowned and no image was posted anyone may post a picture.
-The correct guess must include the city name, or in the case of a small island the island name is acceptable.
-We're going on the honor system here, but you can't use a reverse image search to find out where a picture is.
Avoid the temptation and let's try to make this a fair and fun game :D
-If nobody figures out where the location is after an hour or so the original poster of the picture should start giving clues or can post another picture from the same city until its correctly guessed.
-All Players may not guess again until either 5 mins has passed or until another player guesses.

  • Location: The value of a forum such as this one is not in that one can post a question and receive an answer, but in that the question has most likely been asked before, and the answer is available to him that will but only use the search function.
  • Programs: 1. Search on google. 2. Search in the right board of DDF with a general word or two. 3. Read the wiki. 4. Read the thread. 5. Ask away.

Phuket?

2004 Indian Ocean....Figured the world refers to that one as THE.
It does. But since Japan I suppose its debatable because it was much more recent...

Nope, not Phuket - Haven't seen sights like that there.

Think further south...way further.

Not thailand.

Another hint: there was a small Jewish community in this city in the late 17th century.
The city has a population of just under 5 million.

Saudi Arabia?

ETA: Reminds me an awful lot of this place:

Well that was after an exceptionally lucky one. My usual is between 10k and 20k. Usually going down the road a bit will bring you to a sign or some other clue, and as always remember GIYF (and by G I mean G-maps, G-transelate as well as regular G).

ETA: A small trick; if you land on a dirt road, try to see in which direction the tracks are fresh, going in that direction has more of a chance to bring you back to civilization.

Aqaba is it, though it's in Jordan AFAIK.

I wonder what your highest score would be without googling or spending more than 1 minute per image. (mine was 17.4k)


Here is an easy one (if you have been there)
