Morocco

Morocco, officially the Kingdom of Morocco, stands as a country nestled within the Maghreb region of North Africa. It overlooks the Mediterranean Sea to the northern front and the vast expanse of the Atlantic Ocean to the west. The country shares its land borders with Algeria to the east and disputed territory of Western Sahara to the south. Additionally, Morocco asserts its claim over the Spanish enclaves of Ceuta, Melilla, and Peñón de Vélez de la Gomera, as well as various diminutive Spanish-administered islands dotting its coastline.
