Maghreb
The Maghreb (Arabic:المغرب, al-maghrib, DMG al-ma'rib, „west“) Is the western part of North Africa. Geographically, it is North West Africa. Most popular travel destinations are Morocco and Tunisia. The Maghreb is shaped by the triad of the sea, the mountains of the Atlas Mountains and the Sahara in the south. The region is mostly inhabited by Berbers. Classically, the region around the Atlas Mountains is considered to be the Maghreb, which extends from the Mediterranean to the Sahara. The countries Mauritania and Libya do not actually belong to the Maghreb, but are part of the Union of the Arab Maghreb.
