Where is this? #2

Is it adjacent to the Indian Ocean?

That’s a direct geography question.

Maybe you should ask about the site itself, why it’s important.

Was that building burnt during armed conflict?

It was either destroyed in a conflict, or is being rebuilt after a
conflict.  This place was definitely attached in a conflict in the
last 30 years, maybe more than one conflict, and maybe more than one
attack, I’m not sure.

Is the surrounding water saltwater?

…and FutureGirl answered “NO” to this question.

So, I asked you earlier on if the location was adjacent to the Indian Ocean and you would not answer me because it was a “direct geographical question”
Now, you explain to me the diff. between these two questions.

Convince me that (trilinearmipmap) was not asking you a “direct geographical question” also

Or maybe I should reformulate my question: Does this river flow into the Indian Ocean?  :smiley:

no, I think that might be 10 left, correct me if I am wrong.

Sorry, I probably shouldn’t of answered that question.

  Sindbad’s Island in Basra, Iraq

jees…how did you go about in order to find this location.
Apart from being smart, did you have to scan every each of the globe.
What process did you use.
Unless–of course–you were born in Iraq.

Well done Jees!  How did you get it?

I think I am not 100% done with this.  What’s the name of the building in the picture?

Just using all the information that is there and then looking at inland places in recent conflict areas I got to Basra an Google Earth after Kuwait, Bagdad etc.

This picture was taken near Sinbad Island in Basra.
It is a halfbuilt casino building on what the Iraqis call…Cigar Island
found by “CHANCE”

No pun intended by CHE here

I  found out about the casino on the island too but couldn’t find a picture of it anywhere so I wasn’t sure.

Congratulations, it’s your turn.

Congratulations…jees
