Regions
Three Moroccan regions overlap the territory of Western Sahara:
- Guelmim-Es Semara – also includes Moroccan territory outside of Western Sahara
- Laâyoune-Boujdour-Sakia El Hamra
- Oued Ed-Dahab-Lagouira
Morocco controls territory to the west of the berm (border wall) while the Polisario Front controls territory to the east (see map on right).

Famous quotes containing the word regions:
“Within the regions of the air,
Compassed about with heavens fair,
Great tracts of land there may be found
Enriched with fields and fertile ground;
Where many numerous hosts
In those far distant coasts,
For other great and glorious ends,
Inhabit, my yet unknown friends.”
—Thomas Traherne (1636–1674)
“It is doubtful whether anyone who has travelled widely has found anywhere in the world regions more ugly than in the human face.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“What is a television apparatus to man, who has only to shut his eyes to see the most inaccessible regions of the seen and the never seen, who has only to imagine in order to pierce through walls and cause all the planetary Baghdads of his dreams to rise from the dust.”
—Salvador Dali (1904–1989)
