Ethiopia Region Capitals Quiz

Practice Ethiopia region capitals by matching each federal unit to its city anchor. The quiz covers same-name pairs such as Addis Ababa-Addis Ababa, Dire Dawa-Dire Dawa, Gambela-Gambela and harder pairs such as Amhara-Bahir Dar, Tigray-Mekelle, Oromia-Addis Ababa (Oromia), Afar-Semera, Somali-Jijiga, Sidama-Hawassa, South Ethiopia-Dilla, South West Ethiopia-Bonga (SW), Central Ethiopia-Adama, Benishangul-Gumuz-Asosa. Play it after the map quiz so Bahir Dar, Mekelle, Jijiga, and Hawassa, the western lowland capitals, and the newer southern seats connect to real locations instead of floating as a list of city names.

Match Ethiopia's 14 region capitals from Addis Ababa to Bonga (SW).

Frequently asked questions

What is the capital of Ethiopia?

Addis Ababa is the national capital of Ethiopia and is also one of the chartered-city entries in the region capitals quiz. It is the easiest place to anchor before adding regional seats such as Bahir Dar, Mekelle, and Jijiga.

Which Ethiopia capital pairs share the same name?

The same-name anchors in this copy are Addis Ababa-Addis Ababa, Dire Dawa-Dire Dawa, Gambela-Gambela. They are good first answers because the region name and capital answer reinforce each other.

Which Ethiopia region capitals are harder?

Harder pairs include Amhara-Bahir Dar, Tigray-Mekelle, Oromia-Addis Ababa (Oromia), Afar-Semera, Somali-Jijiga, Sidama-Hawassa, South Ethiopia-Dilla, South West Ethiopia-Bonga (SW), Central Ethiopia-Adama, Benishangul-Gumuz-Asosa. These need more repetition because the region name and capital name do not simply match.

Should I use the Ethiopia map before the capitals quiz?

Yes. The capitals quiz is easier when each city has a location cue. Review Addis Ababa, Oromia, the northern highlands, eastern lowlands, western border areas, and the southern set before drilling the city names.
