Ouch! Forgettaboutit!
All I know is the "cup of trembling" (Israel) but it's so tiny can't even find it, lol.
Though I did get Egypt right, ha. Too tired to wrack my brain, but very cool "test" -- worth saving and torturing people with. ;-)

Very enlightening, Jeff. Thanks. I was amazed to see just how little I did know. To see how big Iran is with all the talk about sanctions and all the hype. Sadaam's old home, and the spaces between Ahfghanistan and Iraq, the two wars of the 21st century. Sobering.

Cheers for that Jeff. Very good. I had it all sussed until I came to Kyrgyzstan, Tajikstan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan.

Well, I probably did "fair." However, the process of elimination helped a lot.

I had trouble with the 'stans and Mali/Mauritania. Other than that not much problem. But then I'm a nut for stuff like this.

Thanks! That was fun. I took Geography Of The Middle East about 11 years ago; much of what I learned then was forgotten (or has been changed). I don't remember all of those -stans from way back when . . . new countries, I think since the break-up of USSR or something?

I had a brain fart on Oman, but I got all the 'stans on the first try.
