Maghreb
The Maghreb (المغرب العربي ; also rendered Maghrib (or rarely Moghreb), meaning "place of set" or "western" in Arabic, is the region of Africa north of the Sahara Desert and west of the Nile — specifically, coinciding with the Atlas Mountains. Geopolitically, the area includes Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, and Libya, Western Sahara, and sometimes Mauritania, which is often placed in West Africa instead.
