Okay, a real tough one. Kudos to anyone who gets it without any hints. Clues will be provided after about 5 guesses.

It definitely doesn't look American, look at the traffic.

I remembered seeing a National Geographic picture, with cars driving along a sort of river, so that was the first thing that came to my head when I saw the picture.

Not Algiers.

I'll pm you with the answer before I leave.  But dont give any clues, since both the clues I've given will help immensely, especially after one makes a few more deductions from the pics. No more hints are needed for now. ;)

I am waiting for 93JC to show up :lol:

Just saw the answer, and it is not that.

None of you are right yet.


BTW, chad is a country, not a city. I want the name of the city in the pics.

I told you this one is tough....but the answer can be guessed it you just look at the map of africa and single out the french colonies.

One more clue: This city is NOT the administrative capital of the country, however, it is the most important city (perhaps the only) by far, and for all practical purposes, the capital.

BMWDave, you have been PMed.
