Spectacular desert republic... but where?

2009.07.13
From World Heritage archaeological sites...

to lush colonial extravagance...

From blistering, brutal heat...

51c in the shade (only there was no shade)...

To cool coastal villages...

From wonderful museums...

To troglodyte dwellings...

Fortified medinas

From scorching bizarre landscape...

To cool oases

From jewels of Islamic architecture...

To the just weird :)

Well, at least I have a few more pictures to post now :-)

nunuinpictures I'm completely amazed by your post.
Where is this? Tunisia?
Oh please... tell me where...
One of the loves of my life is Sahara Desert.

redro Ok, let me see if I get it right....Is it....London ?! ;) ............Hahah !
Although it was "almost" 51 C a week ago in London and I could see a cable coming out of one window in the troglodyte dwellings - Internet ? :) ...or just a rope for climbing upstairs ?! ;)
Hmm, not so much resemblance to London though, is it ? ...What could it be, what could it be...?...
Probably one of those countries which you have to get a hundred of vaccinations in advance for, and where you get your "initiation for walking on coals" practicing with paper galoshes on hot cement in vast courtyards of crowded temples ?!

Widcat I always like all of your pictures...#8 is such a cool view with the sandy colored arched building on one side and the white and blue buildings on the other and the long staired walkway separating the sides. #5 is just beautiful.
