What this Middle East and North Africa quiz covers
MENA, short for Middle East and North Africa, stretches from Morocco and Algeria to Iran and the Arabian Peninsula. The group crosses Africa and Asia while keeping together countries that are often studied as one region.
How the no-borders map quiz works
The quiz names a country, but the usual political borders are removed. Click where you think it belongs by using coastlines, neighboring landforms, distance, and your memory of the regional layout. This set covers all 21 countries.
Gameplay tip: Use coastlines and the positions of nearby large countries as anchors before judging smaller inland areas.
What makes this group challenging
The group crosses Africa and Asia, and the smaller countries near the eastern Mediterranean and Persian Gulf can be difficult at the same scale as Algeria or Saudi Arabia.
