Guess Big villages in Egypt

A quick look at the 79 big villages you can be asked to find on the map, before you play.

Villages with enough people that locals would call them a proper town, but small enough that they rarely make the news. Ranked play starts here, since cities are too easy to be a real test.

In Egypt this set is spread across 26 different governorates, with Sharqia home to the most of them (8).

How this category is defined

Place kinds on GuessTheDot are a practical grouping by population and place type for gameplay, not a legal or historical designation. A place can hold official city rights (or an old city charter) and still show up here as a village if it stayed small, and the other way around: this is a rough size ladder for guessing, not a statement about a place's official status.

48,233 inhabitants, Kafr el-Sheikh
One of the better known ones in this set, a fair starting point if you are new to this category.
