Thumb
All of the Moroccan communes located inside of the disputed Western Sahara area. Most of the communes on the northern border are partly located in the area.

In 2009 a new administrative division of Morocco was adopted, creating 13 new provinces: Berrechid, Driouch, Fquih Ben Salah, Guercif, Midelt, Ouezzane, Rehamna, Sidi Bennour, Sidi Ifni, Sidi Slimane, Tarfaya, Tinghir and Youssoufia. Many municipalities and communes below are now part of these new provinces. The list below is not yet updated for this change.[1]

Municipal types

Within Morocco, there are three types of administrative divisions within the municipal/communal level:

  • Municipality - A local-level administrative subdivision unit whose characteristics are mostly urban nature.
  • Arrondissement - A local-level administrative subdivision unit whose characteristics are within a higher municipal unit (i.e.: a prefecture like Casablanca or Rabat).
  • Rural commune - A local-level administrative subdivision unit (as the name implies) whose characteristics are based on the countryside.
