Hardly!

Looking at the hats on the left it looks very Russian influenced. Uzbekistan / Turkmenistan?

[neilski]

It's Uzbekistan but where?

I don't know without resorting to google, so at a guess Samarkand.

[neilski]

Not Samarkand but it is on the Silk Road and is an ancient walled city if that helps.

I won't google, I just got lucky with the look of the place (and the hats) as my FIL has spent a lot of time out that way.

Piggybacking on previous answers I’ll say Bukhara.

So close! It's the other walled city that gets tourists.

[neilski]

Almost 24 hours and no guesses. Shall I put you all out of your misery and we move on? I’m guessing Uzbekistan isn’t top of the list of PHers places to visit.

[Kenty]

Yes go ahead

[Bonefish Blues]

Googling suggests Khiva as the most likely suspect?

[neilski]

Yes it's Khiva, well worth a visit along with Bukhara & Samarkand if you're ever passing through that way.

[Bonefish Blues]

Faux and Seventy did the hard yards.

[neilski]

As no-one really got my last one, does anyone mind if I go again to keep things moving? Three day rule etc.


This one's much closer to home and almost certainly more visited than Uzbekistan!

[Bonefish Blues]

Alhambra?

[SlackBladder]

Tuscany?

Got it in one.

[Bonefish Blues]

Sorry

Anyone got one?
