Egypt governorates quiz: 27 to find, 11 asked by capital, and the delta cluster

A student revising Egypt for a Middle East geography test plays “Find the place”: all 27 governorates, each asked once in random order, from Matrouh and the New Valley in the west to North and South Sinai. Luxor, the smallest on the map, gets a circle to click; the small governorates of the Nile delta are easier after a zoom.

  1. The 11 capitals asked: Hurghada, Damanhur, Mansoura, Tanta, El-Tor, Banha, Shibin El Kom, Mersa Matruh, Zagazig, Arish and Kharga (New Valley).
  2. In the delta, Banha (Qalyubia), Shibin El Kom (Monufia), Tanta (Gharbia), Mansoura (Dakahlia) and Zagazig (Sharqia) sit side by side: learn those five together.
  3. “Choose the capital” highlights a governorate and offers four: for North Sinai, say, Arish with Ismailia and Damietta from nearby and Aswan or Asyut, which start with the same letter.
  4. Two wrong picks among the four show the answer; on the map it takes three wrong clicks, and the governorate you were looking for turns orange.
Quiz Questions Left out
Find the place (the default) 27Nothing; Luxor gets a circle
Find it from its capital 11The 15 whose capital shares their name (Alexandria, Aswan, Giza, Port Said, Suez…) and Cairo
Choose the capital 23Cairo, Alexandria, Port Said and Suez, cities that are governorates of their own

“Done! 23/27 in 3:05”, for example, counts only the governorates found at the first try; the end lists the ones missed, and “Practise the ones I missed” asks only those. For a paper test, the Blank map of Egypt prints the governorates.

How it works

  1. Choose a quiz: find the governorates by name, find each from its capital, or choose the capital among four.
  2. Click or tap each place as its name appears; zoom in for the small ones.
  3. At the end, see your time and score, then practise only the ones you missed.

Frequently asked questions

Are the small governorates easy to click?
Luxor, the smallest on the map, gets a circle to click when the whole map is shown, and you can zoom into the delta for Port Said and the others.
How does it work?
A name appears above the map: click or tap that place. Right answers turn green; after three misses the answer is shown. Skipped places come back at the end, and the ones you missed can be practised again.
Why does “Find it from its capital” ask only 11 governorates?
Fifteen governorates share their name with their capital — Alexandria, Aswan, Asyut, Beni Suef, Damietta, Faiyum, Giza, Ismailia, Kafr El Sheikh, Qena, Luxor, Minya, Port Said, Sohag and Suez — so the capital would give the answer away, and Cairo is a city that is a governorate of its own. “Choose the capital” keeps twelve of the fifteen, not Alexandria, Port Said and Suez, cities that are governorates of their own like Cairo: 23 questions.
Do I need an account?
No. The quiz runs in your browser with nothing to install or sign up for, and your scores are not stored anywhere.
