Morocco is locatedinthenorthofAfrica.TogetherwithAlgeria andTunisiatheybuilduptheMaghreb.Moroccois the most northern country, that’s why Moroccans name I Maghreb, that means ‘north’ in Arabic. Morocco’s capital is Casablanca. Casablanca is also oneofthemostfamouscitiesalongwithMarrakesh, Agadir and Fes. Casablanca is well known because thefilm‘Casablanca’wassetinCasablancaandit’s alsooneoftheonlycitiesinAfricawherehighbrand fashion shops such as Channel, Lois Vuitton and Givenchy are. In Casablanca you can also find the second biggest mosque in the world. The name of themosqueisHassanII,namedafterourKing’sdad.
