Morocco is in western North Africa, and its location in the westernmost region of the Eastern Hemisphere is the origin of its Arabic name, Al-Maghrib (“the place where the sun sets”). It is situated on both the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea, and lies directly across the Strait of Gibraltar from Spain, about 8 miles (13 km) at its narrowest point.
