Nice! I'd try and avoid words that are similar to the answer in the clues, eg say 'its largest desert' instead of 'Sahara'

Not to be too pedantic...but the bell is Big Ben, the structure is Elizabeth Tower :)

It's still called either one, and Elizabeth Tower would have worked.

Fun quiz! I guess I can understand why not many people got the Western Wall...I just happened to know the Hebrew name for it.

Also, it is understandable for someone who have never been to California to refer to the Golden Gate Bridge as large, yet it is actually very short, especially in comparison to the Bay Bridge,

Fun facts! Where are you from? In the US, most have never heard of Bay Bridge!

Great quiz but maybe a bit too heavy of a focus on the United States. As a foreigner I had no idea about half of them.

How many hours did it take you to come up with those? ;)

Point is, they are not common.

I would argue that the so-called "Black Belt" is also a perceptual region in the SE US.
