Where am I?

Using the following clues (the map above is purely decorative) in combination with Street View, work out my location.

Although Roman, THC’s chief puzzlewright, would be interested to know how long it takes you to solve this solo foxer, he’d rather you didn’t put spoilers or solutions in the comments.

Today I’m in a country that, when spelled out using the NATO alphabet, contains (amongst other things) a capital city and a dance. There are photos of an aircraft carrier and a canid on the country’s Wikipedia page. The two closest capital cities to my location are foreign ones. The nearest UNESCO World Heritage Site lies to the SE and is about 45 kilometres away. Roughly 727 metres above sea level, I’m in a town where a peace treaty was signed many centuries ago. The town’s name has Arabic origins, and contains three Ts and three Ls. The area’s telephone dialling code ends in a 5. Approximately four miles from a macabre museum and 73 kilometres from a turretless tracked WW2 AFV, I’m closer to a primary school than I am to a secondary school.

You are probably in the right place if you can see…

  • Blue chains
  • A green ash tray
  • A yellow defibrillator cabinet
  • A six-legged dog
  • A white Jeep Renegade
  • A white Fiat Panda
  • Plum tomatoes
  • Shiny stickmen
  • The Med
  • The words ‘STRONG ALE’

  1. I’ve got vegetables and shiny people and an eccentric dog and so on, so I must be in the right place, but I’ve got no ale of any kind…

    (Also I only started looking because phlebas was stuck and then got there first, so I feel a bit bad about it :D)
