Same except for Jordan. I tried Israel and Lebanon and then gave up on that region... I also didn't bother to try Djibouti after Somalia, Eritrea and Ethiopia failed.

Well Israel and Jordan border the Mediterranean Sea and Jordan doesn't. Lebanon doesn't even have a desert.

Cape Verde can't be that "dry", It's a couple of tiny islands surrounded by water!!

This quiz is about which countries get the least precipitation. Precipitation basically means 'rainfall', so having water around it won't mean anything. Yes, it is an island nation, however this does not mean that it will have a high precipitation rate.

I know, I get that, I was just joking. The only country I didn't manage to get in the quiz, once I've seen it it makes perfect sense with where it is.
