🇱🇾 Banghazi, Libya
Banghazi is a major city of Libya. Real-Earth coordinates 32.119°, 20.065°, population 1,180,000. A river or a coast to follow, tall enough buildings to make a proximity line interesting, and open airspace once you clear the centre. Skydex flies the real Earth here — the elevation, coastline and city layout under the aircraft come from the same data the map does, and the sky is shared with everyone else flying it.
