About the country
Capital: Rabat
The University of al-Qarawiyyin in Fez, founded in 859, is considered the oldest continuously operating educational institution in the world. Only 14 km of the Strait of Gibraltar separate it from Europe. It was one of the first countries to recognise the independence of the United States.
