Arabs commonly refer to Morocco as “Al-Maghrib” (المغرب), which means “The West” in Arabic. This name reflects Morocco’s position as the westernmost country in the Arab world. Historically, Morocco was also called “Al-Maghrib al-Aqsa” (المغرب الأقصى), meaning “The Far West,” to distinguish it from other regions in North Africa.
