Guess Villages in Egypt

A quick look at the 20 villages you can be asked to find on the map, before you play.

Proper villages: a church, a main street, a few thousand people at most. This is the tier where local knowledge starts to matter more than general geography.

In Egypt this set is spread across 11 different governorates, with Red Sea home to the most of them (5).

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.

Qaşr al Farāfirah
5,000 inhabitants, New Valley
The kind of place that is easy to miss on a map. Good practice for the sharpest players.

An-Najaylah
19,768 inhabitants, Matruh
One of the better known ones in this set, a fair starting point if you are new to this category.

Tips for this category

If you have ever driven through the region, trust that memory over a guess based on the name alone.
Villages tend to sit along old roads and rivers rather than in a grid, so look for natural lines on the map.
