Middle East Map Quiz

Find all 17 countries of the Middle East on the map, or type their names against the clock. Definitions of the Middle East vary: this quiz takes the United Nations region of Western Asia without the three Caucasus countries (Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia) and adds Egypt and Iran. Egypt is shown whole, Sinai included. Israel and Palestine are both on the map; including a country implies no position on its recognition.

Using a screen reader? The map hides country names until you answer; the typing mode works without the map.

How to play

  • Tap the place named above the map. Pinch or use the buttons to zoom; a tap between small countries zooms in first.
  • Type every name you know, in any order. A correct name counts the moment it is complete.
