About the map of the Middle East

The Middle East contains 17 countries you can click on the map above. The map is real geography, not a simplified diagram, so borders, enclaves and island groups all appear where they belong.

Scale is the hard part here: Saudi Arabia covers 2,149,690 km² while Bahrain occupies 765 km², and both count for exactly one point.

0 of these countries are landlocked, among them , and 2 have no land border at all. Those two groups are where most map mistakes happen.

Play through all 17 and the ones you keep missing will be listed at the end, each linking to its own page.

Frequently asked questions

How many countries are in this quiz?

This quiz covers all 17 entries in the Middle East. Questions are drawn from the full set, and the complete list appears in the table on this page.

Do I need an account?

No. There is no sign-up and no login. Your score stays in your own browser and is never sent anywhere.

How are the wrong answers chosen?

Deliberately, not at random. Each question prefers flags that are genuinely confusable with the right answer, then countries from the same sub-region, so guessing by elimination does not work.

Is it free?

Yes, completely free with no limit on how many times you play.
