  13. I admit this is a tough one.  No, it’s not on the Nile or the Red sea.  Yes, a battle was fought there.

    SAS

  15. Thanks for the SAS hint!

    Mirbat, Oman. In 1972 the SAS fought communist rebels there during the Dhofar Rebellion. Battle of Mirbat (Wikipedia)

    The building just above the cluster of buildings in the middle, with the circular part at the bottom right corner is (I think) Mirbat Castle, where the battle itself was fought.
