Western Sahara

Western Sahara (Arabic: الصحراء الغربية, as-Ṣaḥrā' al-Gharbīyah; Spanish: Sahara Occidental) is a territory of northwestern Africa, bordering Morocco on the north, Algeria on the northeast, Mauritania to the east and south, and the Atlantic Ocean on the west. The largest city is El Aaiún (Laâyoune), containing the majority of the population. The legal status of Western Sahara is disputed between Morocco and the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic.
