geogphotos Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 No luck trying to find this on Google Maps. Looks almost like an island with connecting causeways. A lot of greenery in the background so a possible oasis? 1979 so could have changed a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wiskerke Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 (edited) Hmm what do the shadows tell you about the orientation? And where do/did they have so much greenery? Also the main sight on Tarout seems to be that fort. Which sits on top of a hill says Wikipedia. wim edit: Are those mangrove forests like the ones in Abu Dhabi in the background?
