How well do you know the Middle East?

It has come to light that I know nothing about the Middle East. I placed Uzbekistan next to Fresno. And who knew Cyprus was not next to Cerritos? Not me.

Crap. I can't even spell Uzobeksterstan, let alone Cerrutios.

I took one look at the map and ran.

The stans were easy for me, but then we did a lot of Russian geography when I took Russian in college.

Other than a couple where I misclicked on the ocean next to the country the only ones I got wrong were swapping Mali and Niger and then Bahrain and Qatar.

Sub-Saharan Africa, however, would give me real problems.

Africa is always hard for me. I am not so good with those countries. I'm good with Middle East now, because I've been doing a lot of work-related stuff in that area.
