No, this is not an aerial shot of Mandera.

False

The aerial image is of Venice, the capital of the Veneto region in northern Italy, not of Mandera.

Venice is built on more than 100 small islands in theĀ Adriatic Sea lagoon. It has no roads, only canals flanked with Renaissance and Gothic palaces, including the Grand Canal. St. Mark’s Basilica, which is decorated with Byzantine mosaics, and the Campanile bell tower, which offers views of the city’s red roofs, are located on the center square, Piazza San Marco.
