Historical Significance
The western anchor of the Islamic world, Morocco is a stable constitutional monarchy whose king holds the title 'Commander of the Faithful.' Over time, Morocco's historical significance has evolved, marked by its distinctive Maliki-Ash'ari-Sufi religious identity, its Andalusian heritage, and al-Qarawiyyin — the world's oldest continuously operating university.
