Another world map and another chance to guess what group Morocco is placed in. This time the map is courtesy of the U.S. State Department's U.S. Embassy locator.)
Africa? That would be most logical since Morocco is on the continent of Africa.
Europe? That would be a little less logical but Europe is just 9 miles away, a hop, skip and a jump across the Straits of Gibraltar.
No, Morocco is part of the Near East, which Mr. Wiki says is a geographic term for Western Asia. Hmmm.
The Encyclopaedia Britannica, the UN, and the National Geographic all place Morocco outside of the "Near East".
My vote would be the Western Hemisphere. Why not? The U.S. is only 3381 miles away while Oman is 3909 miles away.
