Type the Capitals: Middle East Quiz

Small Gulf states beside very large neighbors

This group covers the eastern Mediterranean, the Arabian Peninsula, Iran, Iraq and nearby western Asia. It is a much smaller set than all of Asia.

Turkey, Iran and Saudi Arabia are hard to miss. Bahrain can be tiny even after you know exactly where to look.

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.

Scale is the main trap

The Gulf and the Levant have several small neighbors. A tiny shift on the map can put you in the wrong country.
