Top Ten Least Famous Arab Countries
I will be looking at the least famous arab countries in the world, and the countries allowed on the list are countries that are members of the arab league. I've made this type of list with asian, african, oceanian and european countries so I think I'm going to look at the least famous arab countries now. So here's the list!
The Comoros, officially the Union of the Comoros, is a sovereign archipelago island nation in the Indian Ocean located at the northern end of the Mozambique Channel off the eastern coast of Africa between northeastern Mozambique and northwestern Madagascar. It shares maritime borders with Madagascar and Mayotte to the southeast, Tanzania to the northwest, Mozambique to the west, and the Seychelles to the northeast. Its capital and largest city is Moroni. The religion of the majority of the population, and the official state religion, is Sunni Islam. As a member of the Arab League, it is the only country in the Arab world which is entirely in the Southern Hemisphere. It is also a member state ...read more. The comoros take the number #1 spot easly. All of the other arab countries may have been heard at least once by people, but barely any people know about Comoros or have even heard of it. They are the smallest and most southern country in the arab league and are the only arab flag besides Mauretania and Egypt (kinda) to have yellow on their flag. The comoros take the number #1 spot easly
I'm pretty sure that many people heard of Kuwait, since an invasion from Saddam triggered The Gulf War.
I only knew this country thanks to Geography Now
Coming from a person who got 100% on a geography final, I didn't even knew it existed.
Djibouti, officially the Republic of Djibouti, is a country located in the Horn of Africa. It is bordered by Somaliland in the south, Ethiopia in the southwest, Eritrea in the north, and the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden in the east. Across the Gulf of Aden is Yemen. The country has a total area of 23,200 km2 (8,958 sq mi). Djibouti, is a quite unknown country as well. It's really just known for being Ethiopia's only access to the sea. Despite being located in Africa and being very small, it's way closer to Yemen than say Syria or UAE are, fun fact
The name is hilarious, and the national anthem is a masterpiece.
Oman, officially the Sultanate of Oman, is an Arab country in the southeastern coast of the Arabian Peninsula. Known for being one of the more safe arab countries and because Avicci died in the capital city Muskat here. It's the only country in the world which begins on the letter "O" as well
Another relatively unknown country in the arab world, but actually one of the richer and safer countries in the arab world. It's tiny and often gets overshadowed by it's older brother Qatar which is the richest country in the world and is bigger and isn't an island. Oh yeah, and this is an island nation
They are barely known at all and are very small. I'm not sure there's a lot about Kuwait people know and I barely hear people talk about it anyway so it will stay high up in the list
Gambia, established in February 18, 1965, is located in western part of Africa. The capital of Gambia is called Banjul, the other major city are Serekunda, Brikama and Bakau which are the three biggest cities in Gambia.
There are at least 10 languages spoken in Gambia by the various ethnic groups. Apart from English which is the official language spoken in schools and public offices there is also Wolof, Serer-Sine, Sarahole, Pulaar, Maninkakan, Mandjaque, Mandingo, Jola-Fonyi and the Aku's Creole (pidgin English).
Gambia is known for tourism
Yemen, officially the Republic of Yemen, is a country in Western Asia, on the southern end of the Arabian Peninsula. It borders Saudi Arabia to the north and Oman to the northeast and shares maritime borders with Eritrea, Djibouti, and Somalia. It is the second-largest Arab sovereign state in the peninsula, occupying 555,000 square kilometres (214,000 square miles). The coastline stretches for about 2,000 kilometres (1,200 miles). Yemen's constitutionally stated capital, and largest city, is the city of Sanaa. As of 2021, the population of the country is estimated at 30,491,000. A lot of people think of Syria, Afghanistan, Iraq and South Sudan when they hear countries at war, but they usually forget the southern country known as Yemen, which is the asian country (excluding Israel) closest to Africa, fun fact. And it's really just known for being in war unfortuanely
I know about Yemen because my friends from childhood were from there.
Lot's of people know it for war.
Chad, officially the Republic of Chad, is a landlocked country in northern Central Africa. It is bordered by Libya to the north, Sudan to the east, the Central African Republic to the south, Cameroon to the south-west, Nigeria to the southwest (at Lake Chad), and Niger to the west. It has a population of 16 million, of which 1.6 million live in the capital and largest city N'djamena. Not in the arab league
Not arab, at all
Lebanon was established in 1920 and gained its independence in 1943. For a couple of years it has lacked a president; yet, on October 31st, 2016, it got president Michel Aoun. Lebanon is situated in the middle of the fertile crescent on the eastern Mediterranean sea overlooking Europe, North Africa and Asia. It can also be seen as the center of the world by holding Asia and Africa and Europe together like a bridge or a tie or even a knot. Syria occupies it from the North and East while the Mediterranean Sea occupies it from the West and Israel from the South. It contains 15 rivers at an area of 10,452 sq km with a coast of the length 210 km. ...read more. Known for being the party capital of the arab world. I believe it's one of the safer arab countries as well. I find it suprising how unknown it is, as Lebanon has among the most interesting and oldest history in the arab world. Very interesting country but unfortuanely unknown
One of the best arab countries
Mauritania, officially the Islamic Republic of Mauritania, is a sovereign state in Northwest Africa. It is bordered by the Atlantic Ocean to the west, Western Sahara to the north and northwest, Algeria to the northeast, Mali to the east and southeast, and Senegal to the southwest.

Known for being one of the most muslim countries in the world and for being one of the few countries were slavery is still practised.

Tunisia, officially the Tunisian Republic or the Republic of Tunisia is the northernmost country in Africa, covering 165,000 square kilometres. Known for being the most democratic arab country and that's really it, unfortuanely. Heck, a lot of people can't tell the difference between Algeria and Tunisia unfortuanely
