Morocco is situated in the north-west corner of Africa.
The Mediterranean and the Atlantic Ocean bound the country on the north and the west. Algeria shares the eastern border and the Western Sahara lies to the south. Between the western coast and the mountains lies a wide plain, the Garb, where most of Morocco s agricultural products are obtained. The Moulouya is the only major river flowing into the Mediterranean Sea. Morocco s forests covering about one tenth of its total land area have substantial commercial value.
