"أَنا مِن مَدينة قَريبة مِن اَلْبَحْر اَلْأَبْيَض اَلْمُتَوَسِّط."

Translation: I am from a city close to the Mediterranean Sea.

I wrote "I am from a city near the Mediterranean Sea" and got marked wrong. But I think this was a fine translation?

Duo is too picky here. Frustrating for us.

[Sikeryali]

Me too :-(

But I reported it "My answers should have been accepted"

[R_Llully]

I did the exact same thing.

[GiselaPosc]

Same here

In Arabic, the Mediterranean is something of a white sea.

[vsandl]

What does the last word actually mean?

[Ururshe]

I wrote the one but wrong why?

[sig_ma]

From the Wikipedia article on the Mediterranean, اَلْبَحْر اَلْأَبْيَض اَلْمُتَوَسِّط means "the [White] Middle Sea", so I guess اَلْمُتَوَسِّط means "middle"?
