Looks Roman, could be Greek or Egyptian but feels more Roman.
There's date palms on the left horizon, which implies we're probably not in Europe?
And there's a modern cut-out image of a human behind the third pillar on the right, which makes me think we're probably not in a Muslim country as Islam isn't too keen on depictions of human figures.
Also all the visitors are in Western dress, which you probably wouldn't see in a Muslim country.
So Roman, not in Europe and not Muslim doesn't give you too many options until you come round to Israel?

Roman & Israel are both correct.

Beit She'an it is. @cmac62 is up next.

One of the more popular and fascinating parts of the city was the public latrine with its plumbing and flowing water to remove waste from the city. The development of this kind of facility was crucial for being able to create a large, healthy community.

Here is one I took a couple of years ago.
Once I new it was Roman and Isreal I googled thos with Colonnade and then looked for the 2 broken, 3 full and 2 broken pattern.
I expected the Rockies to be a little rockier than this. That John Denver is full of $#!+, man.
Are we in/near Yosemite?
Looks to me like a big hole in the ground.

On the way up to Mount Whitney?
Closer, but not quite right.

Southern Sierra Nevada mountains, appears to be looking east or southeast. Perhaps that is Las Vegas on the horizon. 
Or one of scattered small towns along 395?

I can't quite place it exactly, but I think the picture is taken from the San Gabriels looking north towards Palmdale.
I thought that at first, but the escapement of the southern Sierra looking east is pretty dramatic and you don't really get the foothills that you see in the center of the picture. Definitely Southern California, though.
Its looking at one of the So Cal Valleys.
OK, this one is driving me nuts. I recognize that v in the foothills, but I just can’t place it.
Are we in the LA basin?

Death Valley?
Idyllwild?
Coyote Peak?
Idyllwild is closest yet. There are two views from this particular area.
Mount San Jacinto looking towards Palm Springs? The other view being towards the Inland Empire?
Was this taken from the tram on the way up?
Looks like Duncan got it right.
There's not many places where the pines and chaparral transition to desert mountains like that. I couldn't place what part of the Transverse Ranges it was initially.
This one might be quick.

Define “quick”
I guess a clue is needed. We’ve not gone that far from the last picture.
The left portal leading to the Frongarian subduction zone on the West Coast of the Atlantis continent on Terra?
Close. We’re looking at a thermal inversion layer.
Is that from Mt. Whitney?
Los Angeles has inversion layers sometimes. Is this from Mt. Wilson? I don't see any transmitters but...
This is what I was thinking, but I wrote Whitney. Doh!! Yeah, the transmitters could be behind this location looking out towards San Bernardino.
Big Bear?
I’ll give it to @beermanpete. It’s the view from the Angeles Crest Highway looking towards the Inland Empire from the Big Pines end of the highway.
I guess that was trickier than I thought.

Here we go...
San Gabriels again? Looks like the view towards Mt. Wilson from the Antelope Valley.
Not the San Gabriels. Further west.
Time for a clue?
The shadows on the foothills make it tricky, but it looks desert. Could still be in California, but I'm guessing Mt. Lemmon in AZ?
Not AZ. San Gabriel was closer. It is in the transverse range. The snow is rare in this peak.
