How many World Cities can I name? (PART 8: North and East Africa)

[@rocky_hockey6447]

Accepted spelling of the tunisian cities you named : Aryānah Bin 'Arūs Zaghwān Jundūbah Manūbah Bājah Al-Kāf Al-Mahdiyah Nābul Al-Ḥammāmāt Sīdī Bū Zayd Al-Munastīr Tawzar Qibilī Taṭāwīn Jarjīs Madanīn Silyānah Jarbah Ḥawmat as-Sūq Also, visually I like the smaller circles way better. I think it would make things easier for you too to better locate missing cities on the map. Also, i'm surprised you missed Tindouf in Algeria

I’m Tunisian, and we use the names as you’ve typed them. We almost never use the weirdly translated ones. Governorates: Al-Kaf (Kef) - Correct but not accepted Al-Mahdiyah (Mahdia) - Correct but not accepted Al-Munastir (Monastir) - Correct but not accepted Al-Qasrayn (Kasserine) - Correct Al-Qayrawan (Kairouan) - Correct Aryanah (Ariana) - Correct but not accepted Bajah (Beja) - Correct but not accepted Banzart (Bizerte) - Correct Bin Arus (Ben Arous) - Correct but not accepted Jundubah (Jendouba) - Correct but not accepted Madanin (Medenine) - Correct but not accepted Manubah (Manouba) - Correct but not accepted Nabul (Nabeul) - Correct but not accepted Qabis (Gabes) - Correct Qafsah (Gafsa) - Correct Qibili (Kebili) - Correct but not accepted Safaqis (Sfax) - Correct Sidi Bu Zayd (Sidi Bouzid) - Correct but not accepted Silyanah (Siliana) - Correct but not accepted Susah (Sousse) - Correct Tatawin (Tataouine) - Correct but not accepted Tawzar (Tozeur) - Correct but not accepted Tunis (Tunis) - Correct Zaghwan (Zaghouan) - Correct but not accepted Cities: Jarbah Hawmat as-Suq (Houmt Souk) - Correct but not accepted Al-Hammamat (Hammamet) - Correct but not accepted Jarjis (Zarzis) - Correct but not accepted Correct: 8 Correct but not accepted: 19 I hope this helps.

I really want to know who did the crappy transliterations of place names in Tunisia on Google that ended up pretty much on every website these days. It's definitely not a Tunisian person. That way of spelling them does not exist in Tunisia at all. Not on official documents, not on road signs, not even on any form of media. I really hate it. PS: It was so satisfying to watch Jake name all of them correctly. As a Tunisian, it made me very happy.

[@Sweating_Geography]

definitely one of the best city naming series'. Europe is going to be insane.

[@bramba0147]

I love this serie

[@StateMasterSubdivisions3795]

Don't forget Ceuta and Melilla and the Canary Islands when you do Spain and Azores and Madeira with Portugal 😉 nice background on your facecam btw!

[@coloripple]

This has grown to be one of my fave series on all of youtube!. Can't wait for europe, especially my home countries of Finland and the Netherlands

[@Con.931]

Love this series! You're so talented as this as well.

[@Po11P]

Great video as always. Love the series! My few cents: 1) Do you know only Kalinigrad in Kalinigrad oblast or did you forget to type others too? 2) In Algeria there is isolated Tindouf in the south west and there is pretty big one up north called Batna. 3) In Egypt you probably forgot Hurghada on the Red Sea. Also, on the Sinai peninsula there is Taba near the border with Israel (same coast as Dahab). 4) Yes, you should definitely allow yourself to type all not accepted ones in Tunisia and probably in other countries too.

[@jakelyonsgeo]

@@Po11P don’t think I can name another one in Kaliningrad off the top of my head, no

[@Morphior]

@@jakelyonsgeo fun fact, the only place I’ve ever been to in Russia was Zelenogradsk in Kaliningrad Oblast. I was there in 2007 I think, and it was really wild. Huge potholes in the roads, and the buildings looked straight out of the USSR. I was not old enough to know the historical facts, but looking back nowadays, it was quite stunning. Looking at it on Google Street View today, a lot has changed.

[@Zarkucb]

1 billion urban population hype! What's everyone's prediction for the end total population? I'm guessing around 1.7 billion, could be a fun thing to have the viewers guess? Also this is like prime background noise for doing the dishes

[@Джеклейланд]

Monastir is spelled Al Munastir in Arabic so I assume thats how the quiz would want you to type it. Edit: It seems the quiz site is using the website called city population for its data about African cities, and the Tunisian ones are all listed with specific spellings in there eg Al Mahdiyah, Al Kaf, Al Qasrayn, Aryanah.

I enjoy this serie too much, greetings from Jerez!

[@blakeberkley3366]

Can't wait for U.S. to see you name more cities in my state than I even know

[@matibugatti]

ngl can't wait for europe

[@addinkid3]

Im a simple man. I see Jake name cities and I watch it all

[@worldwidedialects]

Wow, as a Tunisian, I‘m impressed with your Tunisian City Knowledge 💪🏼🇹🇳

[@xxpaeytonxx]

wow, this episode really shows how much geoguessr knowledge goes into city knowledge, you knew so much in the countries with coverage than without

[@powerek]

yeaaah, I've been waiting for so long

[@AlexRembish]

Happy one billion of the world urban population! 43:02

[@bedef1980]

Haven’t finished watching the vid yet but needed to type and say you should go back and input the Tunisia ones. Or can you contact the website devs to see if they can sort it out? Bring on the next episodes in Europe and US. Do you have a prediction on what % total you will get to?

[@SnowTheJamMan]

I didn't know a lot of the Morrocan cities you named, but one you missed was Nador. If you've seen the telenovela "La Reina del Sur" you'll be well familiar with that city haha.

[@FigsyGames]

lets go, Love this series

[@FigsyGames]

Also no idea why this quiz won't accept Charters Towers

[@FigsyGames]

the spelling is the hard part for me hahaha, nice video man

[@calvin_geo]

Love these vids

[@bramba0147]

The one on the red sea in Egypt is hurghada

[@NathanLipetz]

I think you should look up Tunisian cities (Arabic names) and put in the ones you got.

[@matijamaksan4344]

Nice, its back.

[@smorajs]

You were thinking of the Kariba Dam! I went to a national park close to it, it's stunning.

[@ziedelouaer]

You hit 1 billion with Toamasina!

[@innnaaaaa3496]

12:45 i guess it wants you to type: "port-fouad second"

[@bramba0147]

Don't forget cape Verde!!!!!! 😂😂😂😂

[@JoinMolten]

tadjoura is a djiboutian city but unfortunately did not work for some reason, same with abyei in Sudan

[@19alligators]

bro is so insanely smart that it is scary

[@elainerose8799]

Yeah you should get credit for the cities you know in Tunisia ps I like the smaller dots

[@hwc8709]

Since the tab doesn't pull down, I can't quite see what you're doing to find the countries in the selector, so you may know/do this already, but just in case, I've found that you can open the drop down and start typing in the country, and it should pull up. If you mess up when spelling it for whatever reason, you can pause for a second or two, and then start typing in again and it should reset. Hope this helps :)

[@Джеклейланд]

Kinda surprised at Tobruk being missing, also Derna is pretty well known in Libya because of the devastating floods last year

[@StateMasterSubdivisions3795]

How do you know so many Kenyan cities other than the counties? Have you been there?

[@GiaFil7]

Definitely go back and type them in. You know these cities in Tunisia.

[@treyebillups8602]

Algeria: Blida (next to Algiers), Tiaret, Tindouf (near the Sahrawi refugee camps that host the SADR government) Libya: Sabha Egypt: Shubra El Kheima, El Mahalla El Kubra Sudan: El Fasher, El Daein, Geneina (all in Darfur), El Obeid, Dongola Ethiopia: Harar, Bishoftu, Arba Minch, Kombolcha, Dessie Somalia: Merca (near Mogadishu), Berbera (the main port), Burao, Beledweyne Uganda: Nansana, Kira (both big cities next to Kampala) Rwanda: Gisenyi (probably the northwest one you were talking about, also the second biggest) Mozambique: Matola (next to Maputo, second largest in the country), Nampula (third largest), Chimoio, Nacala, Manhiça, Mocímboa da Praia (got attacked by ISIS recently) Zimbabwe: Chitungwiza (next to Harare) Mauritius: Vacoas-Phoenix, Beau Bassin-Rose Hill (the one you got but it didn’t go in) Madagascar: Ambovombe, Tôlanaro (or Taolagnaro or Fort-Dauphin), Ambilobe

[@GeographyNerd112]

Also don't forget Tristan Da Cunha Ascension Island and Saint Helena 😅

[@michaelwisniewski6047]

I think this website only counts cities over 50k and definitely nothing in these islands is that size - like Seyshelles where it refused every city Jake typed

[@barleduckgeo]

@@michaelwisniewski6047 not true, when i tried it it even accepted some towns with like 20 people

[@barleduckgeo]

@@michaelwisniewski6047 cities on islands of that size DID actually count iirc

[@GeographyNerd112]

@michaelwisniewski6047 Jake has also named some obnoxiously small Russian/Indonesian Towns

[@rickhammer7204]

Definitely go back and put the cities you know in

[@jaspersoranges]

You forgot Hurghada on the red sea!

[@Tris2000]

I know you've done North Africa, but a friendly reminder not to "do a Kaliningrad" and forget about the Spanish cities off the Moroccan mainland when you get to Europe!

[@autafly]

Port said in egypt maybe?
