Geography

[edit | edit source]
Toubkal

Morocco shares borders with Spain along the coast with Spain's exclaves: Ceuta, Melilla, and Peñón de Vélez de la Gomera, Algeria to the east and Western Sahara to the south. Western Sahara is claimed by Morocco as a part of the country so technically Morocco also shares a border with Mauritania in the south.

The highest mountain in Morocco is Toubkal at 4,167 m.
