Well that's an opel driving beside you, so it's not likely in the US, That is some variation of an M-60 tank which a little research tells me in use by the US, Bahrain, Bosnia, Brazil, Egypt, Greece, Iran, Israel, Portugal, Spain, Tunisia, Turkey, Taiwan, Thailand, Jordan.

The US has already been eliminated by the Opel, The guy on the left seems to be middle eastern along with the architecture. So I am going to go ahead and eliminate Brazil, Bosnia, Portugal, Spain, Taiwan, and Thailand.

The sign on the fence looks like it may be in Arabic or a similar alphabet, It is not very likely that you were visiting Iran, or Jordan. In fact the only ones that make sense to visit are Egypt or Greece.

I searched Google images and realized that the pattern painted on the curb is popular in Egypt. This seems to fit well with the surroundings, so I'm going to go with Egypt. Since there is a city in the background and the most popular tourist location in Egypt is Cairo and it also has had a military presence for a while now I am going to guess Cairo Egypt.

 

lol, the answer was already given. And I am not a tourist, I am from Egypt. But thats good! good investigative work.

 

So you speak arabic?

 

yes I do!

 

Nobody wants to see me.
I don't, either. But I know a couple of phrases. My wife has been trying to learn it for awhile. She seems to find the regional language differences to be strong. I suppose it would be the same as learning English from an American newscaster and then trying to understand and be conversational in English cockney, Scottish brogue, southern US drawl, Boston yankee dialect, black urban street jive, Aussie accent, and Indian helpdesk variations.

 

It is, fu'sha is what the news people speak, regional dialects differ considerably from it. Infact, no normal conversation ever uses fu'sha. I can't remember the English name for it, but I think its called Modern Arabic?

Probably a good idea to learn fu'sha in writing, but focus on Egyptian or similar dialect for speaking.

 

oops, I got linked to that pic from another thread, didnt realize it was answered, so it is Egypt, but is it Cairo? Did I get lucky?

 

yep, it Cairo. Outskirts to some extent, but still you were right, not lucky .

 

Me and a couple buds trying to look tough(trying being the key word). That's me on the right by the way.



Pretty bad picture I know...
