Type the Capitals: Middle East and North Africa Quiz
Practice the capitals of the Middle East and North Africa while keeping each country tied to its place on the map.
A band from Morocco to Iran
MENA runs from Morocco across North Africa to the Middle East and Iran. It crosses two continents, which is part of why the full set feels bigger than the name suggests.
North Africa is a long strip. Around the Gulf and eastern Mediterranean, the borders bunch together quickly.
The map changes near Egypt
North Africa mostly reads west to east. The Middle East asks for much tighter border memory, especially around the Gulf and Levant.
How the capitals quiz works
A country is highlighted and named. Type its capital. Smurdy marks the capital on the map for a moment before the next question.
Capital mode makes the most sense once the countries or states themselves are familiar.
Tip: Try to get the city from memory before you look for the answer dot.
Practice the two halves on their own
North Africa is basically a west-to-east chain. Learn that part first and the Middle East will feel like a separate, smaller problem.
