Type the Countries: Middle East and North Africa Map Quiz
Practice the names and locations of the Middle East and North Africa by typing the highlighted countries.
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 typing map quiz works
One country is highlighted. Type its name and move on to the next one. You get the location as a clue, but the name has to come from memory.
Typing is useful once the shapes feel familiar but some of the names still lag behind.
Tip: If you recognize the shape but the name is slow, say the name out loud or in your head before typing.
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.
