John M got it.
It is Wadi Rum and I was thinking of The Martian.

Looks redder than usual as pic taken at sunrise.

Wadi Rum also used in the Star Wars prequel Rogue One (planet Jedha not Tattooine so was still wrong)

I have one of those too although it isn't a great photo.

Looks like no takers on this apart from the usual peanut gallery commentariat.

Colonia del Sacramento, a gorgeous W-H listed Portuguese colonial town across the estuary of the Rio de La Plata from B A. (Colonia del Sacramento - Wikipedia)



Highly recommended.

The bonus question?

Tuscany somewhere - I'm going to have 3 goes - Lucca, San Gimi or maybe across the border in Assisi
