Good quiz, and you say it's harder than it seems, which is very true. But "harder" becomes "impossible" when you include Faiyum and Mansura which certainly do not start with vowels.

I'm really sorry for the inconvenience. I included those using the names given by the source (Al-Fayyum and Al-Mansurah) but then I changed some of the names to be the ones that Wikipedia uses. And somehow I didn't notice those two no longer start with a vowel. I've replaced them with other two cities that do start with a vowel
