I need to collect all articles that are about countries and continents in Arabic from Wikipedia. I was wondering how do I find these articles if I downloaded the latest wiki dump?
New to the field. Trying to learn something new every day.

Here's the main page for Wiki{p,m}edia dumps:
and the index of dumps:
https://dumps.wikimedia.org/backup-index.html
and for Arabic Wikipedia you'd select "ar" and "wiki", for example:
https://dumps.wikimedia.org/arwiki/20200120/ (note the datestamp)
(if you wanted Arabic Wiktionary instead, it would be another dump: https://dumps.wikimedia.org/arwiktionary/20200120/)
and the full dump of Arabic Wikipedia is here:
Read here about how to parse the results
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Data_dumps
Or search through this forum for tips, for example:
