These famous ruins are being threatened by the constant shifting of the local landscape. They are considered important enough to the history of the region that the country's tourism department has taken steps aimed at preserving them.

Name the general geographic location, the specific ruins, and why they're famous.

Good luck.

The location is Tunisia, North Africa. The set was used as Luke Skywalker's home (Mos Eisley) in Star Wars Episode IV A New Hope and reappeared in other episodes as well.

The 'Mos Eisley' set in Tunisia is correct.
Over to you.

The geographic location is the oasis city of Dunhuang, Gansu province, western China.

Picture is a 'watchtower' from the Han Dynasty era (202-220 AD).

In English, Dunhuang has been referred to as the 'City of Sands' and was a key way station along the Silk Road.

The second picture is the Lovell telescope at Jodrell Bank. Sir Bernard Lovell established the facility in 1945. The Telescope, at 76 metres in diameter, is the third largest steerable radio telescope in the world. This telescope and others at the facility are used for studying pulsars, Cosmic Microwave Background radiation, gravitational lenses, active galaxies and astrophysical masers.
