Tunisia - Multiview with Matmata

There is no writing on the postcard to tell what these places are.  However, I think the bottom center is Matmata.

Matmata is a small town in southern Tunisia. The structures typical for the village are created by digging a large pit in the ground. Around the perimeter of this pit artificial caves are then dug to be used as rooms, with some homes comprising multiple pits, connected by trench-like passageways.
