Middle East map quiz: 17 places, and the six small ones to zoom in for

A student preparing for a Model UN session on the Gulf plays the find quiz. It asks 17 places in random order, Cyprus and Palestine included, and the bar starts at “Middle East · 17 left”. Bahrain, the smallest, gets a circle to click; the other small countries are drawn at their real size, so zoom in on the Gulf and the eastern Mediterranean for them.

  1. A wrong click flashes the country you hit in red with its name; the third miss on the same question blinks the answer and counts it as missed.
  2. Watch the look-alike names: Iran and Iraq are neighbours, as are Oman and Yemen in the south of the peninsula.
  3. Other modes: “Find it from its capital” asks 15 (not Kuwait, whose capital is Kuwait City, nor Palestine, with no capital in the quiz); “Choose the capital” asks 16; “Find the flag” 17.
Country Width in an 800-pixel-wide quiz Where to look
Bahrain about 9 pxisland in the Gulf, off Saudi Arabia
Palestine about 23 pxthe West Bank beside Israel and Jordan, and Gaza
Cyprus about 28 pxisland in the Mediterranean, south of Türkiye
Lebanon about 31 pxcoast north of Israel
Qatar about 32 pxpeninsula in the Gulf
Kuwait about 33 pxhead of the Gulf, south of Iraq

The round ends “Done! 15/17 in 1:31”, say, with the countries missed listed, and “Practise the ones I missed” plays only those. The map labels Turkey as “Türkiye”.

How it works

  1. Choose a quiz: find the countries by name or from their capitals, choose each capital among four, or find the country of a flag.
  2. Click or tap each place as its name appears; Bahrain gets a circle, and you can zoom in on the Gulf for the other small ones.
  3. At the end, see your time and score, then practise only the ones you missed.

Frequently asked questions

Which countries are in it?
Seventeen: Egypt, Türkiye, Cyprus, Syria, Lebanon, Israel, Palestine, Jordan, Iraq, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Oman and Yemen — the same as the blank map of the Middle East.
Are the small Gulf states easy to find?
Bahrain, about 9 pixels across in an 800-pixel-wide quiz, gets a circle to click while it is drawn that small. Qatar and Kuwait are drawn at their real size: zoom in on the Gulf with the + button, Ctrl + scroll or two fingers.
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.
Is there a flag quiz of the Middle East?
Yes — choose “Find the flag”: a flag appears and you click its country, all 17, Palestine included. Iraq, Syria, Egypt and Yemen all use red, white and black, so look at the script, stars or eagle in the white band.
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.
