How many countries speak Arabic? At least 22. Today we find every one of them on the map.
We travel the whole Arab world, الوطن العربي, from Mauritania on the Atlantic to Oman on the Indian Ocean. On the way you'll learn which Arab country is the biggest now that Sudan split in two, which one holds more than 100 million people, why almost nobody lives in the middle of Libya, and which countries make up المغرب العربي, بلاد الشام, and the Gulf. We also pass two famous disputes that I very carefully refuse to get into. You can watch me dodge them live.
