Mauritania is spelled wrong

Level 21

Oct 4, 2023

There are a few typos but I'm mainly concerned about the names that are accepted. I tried everything for Shubra al Khaymah, but it turns out the only acceptable answer is Subra al-Haymah. Also, Algeria is definitely not a city. But other places like Fez and Marrakech should definitely be accepted as Fes or Marrakesh. Mansoura, Fayyum, Damanhour, Wad Madani, Qena, and some others should be accepted as well.
