Morocco information

Morocco is a North African country that has a coastline on both the North Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea. It has borders with Mauritania to the south, Algeria to the east and the Spanish North African territories of Ceuta and Melilla on the Mediterranean coast in the north.

Morocco's long struggle for independence from France ended in 1956. The internationalized city of Tangier was turned over to the new country that same year. Morocco virtually annexed Western Sahara during the late 1970s, and even though the status of the territory remains unresolved, the government is trying to conceal this, e.g. on all maps in Morocco, Western Sahara is drawn as an integrated part of the country.

Rabat Archaeological Museum
Rabat Archaeological Museum is an archaeological museum in Rabat, Morocco. Opened in 1932, it contains the most extensive collection of archaeological artifacts found in Morocco. It contains prehistoric and pre-Islamic collections including an extensive collection of objects uncovered by archaeologists working in Volubilis, Banasa and Thamusida, and were first put on display in 1930-1932. This includes human remains from the middle palaeolithic period (probably Neanderthals) to the neolithic (4000 B.C.).

Ameziane Museum
Ameziane museum is a private museum opened in Nador, Morocco in May 2006. The museum prompted controversy as it is dedicated to the Maréchal Mohamed Ameziane, a former military chief of staff during the Third Rif War in early 20th century whom many believe he helped the Spanish army in the Rif region of Spanish Morocco against the guerrilla revolutionary Abd el-Krim.
