Geography
Moroccan Mediterranean Coast (West Side) - Air Photo form Bades over El Jebha to Tétouan with Rif mountains, Tangier-Tetouan region (2014)

The region has a coastline to the west on the Atlantic Ocean, on the north to the Strait of Gibraltar and to the east on the Mediterranean Sea. It borders the regions of Gharb-Chrarda-Béni Hssen and Taza-Al Hoceima-Taounate to the south and also has a border to the Spanish exclave of Ceuta.

Administrative divisions

The region is made up into the following provinces and prefectures:

gollark: Apparently, because some unspecified event had occurred two years in a row at the same time for them (???) and because it's "comforting".
gollark: Also people just not caring about truth for some reason. A mere 1.8ish hours ago someone was telling me about why they believed in astrology.
gollark: That seems like more of an argument for mitigating the harms of some service things than just banning somewhat harmful ones entirely.
gollark: AAAAAAAAAA MORE "OR SOMETHING"
gollark: I'm not sure about "fundamentally", but common cultural values consider it more intimate than just, I don't know, retailing or waiter-ing.
