Jerusalem, the Dead Sea, and 4,000 years of history — how well do you know Israel?
The Israel Quiz is a free online quiz that tests your knowledge of Israel with 50 questions covering Jerusalem, the Dead Sea, Israeli innovation, and 4,000 years of history. Israel is home to the Dead Sea, the lowest point on land at 430 meters below sea level.
Each round presents 10 randomized questions from a pool of 50, with four multiple-choice options and instant feedback after every answer. Your final score comes with a performance tier and shareable results.
You'll explore Israel's geography from the Negev Desert to the Golan Heights, ancient history from the kingdoms of Israel to the Dead Sea Scrolls, religious significance to three major faiths, Israeli cuisine from falafel to shakshuka, the startup culture behind innovations like Waze and drip irrigation, and fun facts about the country known as the Startup Nation.
Jerusalem is Israel's declared capital and its largest city, home to over 900,000 people. It holds deep significance for Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, with holy sites including the Western Wall, the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, and the Al-Aqsa Mosque.
The Dead Sea gets its name because its extreme salinity — roughly 9.6 times saltier than the ocean — makes it inhospitable to most aquatic life. Only certain microorganisms can survive in its waters. Its high salt content also allows swimmers to float effortlessly on the surface.
Hebrew is Israel's official language, spoken by the vast majority of the population. It is the only successfully revived dead language in history, brought back into everyday use largely through the efforts of Eliezer Ben-Yehuda in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Arabic is also widely spoken.
