    Suadi Arabia and Dubai are very close so your are still guessing to far to the east.

    Also Saudi Arabia is a country i showed a picture of a specific city/place so you
    will need to be more specific

    BTW, I got the Egypt one because that looked to much like the valley of the kings at the top.

    Oh, come on... you need to give us an image further out than that... There's no way you'd get it unless you recognized the building...

    But, looking at the file name...
     
    Is it by any chance in Nevada?

    ^^^Yeah, okay you pinned it.

    check this out:
     
    Here's the same area on google:
    <ahttp://www.imgcity.net/server/primary/rustalot_sat.PNG align=baseline>
     
    Here's a map of the same area:
    <ahttp://www.imgcity.net/server/primary/rustalot_map.PNG align=baseline>
     
    And now we zoom out:
    <ahttp://www.imgcity.net/server/primary/rustalot_map_out1.PNG align=baseline>
     
    And again:
    <ahttp://www.imgcity.net/server/primary/rustalot_map_out2.PNG align=baseline>
     
    See?
     
    Okay then, see if you can tell me where this is!
    <ahttp://www.imgcity.net/server/primary/Doll%20to%20a%20Hoe%20in%20an%20Ark.PNG align=baseline>
     
    Note: the filename is not random. It's rather a sort of my own personal encryption about three basic items of info about the area pictured.
