Frequently asked questions

What is the capital of Iraq?

Baghdad is the national capital of Iraq and the capital of Baghdad Governorate. It is the first same-name anchor in the capitals quiz.

Which Iraq capital pairs are hardest?

The non-matching pairs usually need the most review: Duhok-Dohuk, Nineveh-Mosul, Al Anbar-Ramadi, Saladin-Tikrit, Babil-Hillah, Diyala-Baqubah, Wasit-Kut, Dhi Qar-Nasiriyah, Maysan-Amarah, Muthanna-Samawah, Al-Qadisiyyah-Diwaniyah. Practice them after the governorate map so each city has a location clue.

What are the capitals of the Kurdish northeast governorates?

Should I learn Iraq governorates before capitals?

Yes. Capital recall is easier after map practice because cities such as Mosul, Ramadi, Hillah, and Nasiriyah need governorate locations to become memorable.
