	No Jerusalem for Israel? No Baghdad for Iraq? No Tehran for Iran?

	You obviously have skipped quite a few cities. However, the must funny thing here is the "Other" category, where only 6 of the 16 answers actually are cities.

	I wasn't aware that the Strait of Gibraltar and the Suez Canal were cities.

	I didn't realize the Strait of Gilbraltar was in the Middle East. Wow this quiz is covered with FAILsauce.

	I agree with all the above. Normally in any quiz about cities appear the most populous ones (metro area or city proper). I wonder how many people actually live in the Gulf of Oman or in the Suez Canal.

	I was marveling at the stupidity of this quiz and jokingly typed Petra. Lo and behold!

	The Gulf of Aqaba is not a city, Isfahan is Esfahan, Algeria is not in the middle east, Iraq, Iran, and Israel are missing their largest cities, and Ad Damman is 5th biggest in Saudi Arabia. If I wanted to waste my time like you did I would go on until I ran out of characters for the comment box, and I would still have more errors to list.

	@Sixtytwobobs: Although the quiz fails in many ways, I might say that the line between Middle East and Maghreb countries is a blurry area because of the ethnic, languagewise and religious reasons. Some count Algeria and Morocco as Middle East, some not. Iran also has this, although there's more of a consensus here. And another interesting thing, the first definition of Middle East actually included Greece. And although the common English transliteration is Esfahan, Isfahan is another used variant too. I see that the test maker is using random places.
