Kingdom of Morocco The Country At the extreme north west of Africa and on the immediate southern side of Gibraltar straight, Morocco is the intersection of the Arab World, Europe and Africa. This millennial land of Islam is known in Arabic as Al Maghreb Al Aqsa, meaning "the Extreme West". Its immediate neighbors are Spain, Mauritania and Algeria. Morocco is a land of contrasts. Its very long seacoast (3500 km), which is short on the Mediterranean side, extends into plains and plateaus on the Atlantic one. The mountains are the highest in the Maghreb region, with Mount Toubqal peaking at 4165 m. in the High Atlas chain. Sources : http://www.mincom.gov.ma Yahoo!
