___ es Salaam
Answer:
DAR
Hint:
This Tanzanian city’s name begins with the Swahili word for "house."
Explanation:
This clue is asking for the missing word in the name of Tanzania’s largest city, "Dar es Salaam." The answer is "DAR," which is Arabic for "house" or "abode," making the full name roughly translate to "House of Peace." It’s a straightforward fill-in-the-blank where the blank is the first part of a well-known place name.
