Morocco, in Arabic: المغرب al-Maghrib /ˈmæɡrɪb/[1] which literally stands for "The Land where the Sun sets"
Historically, Maghreb, previously known to Europeans as Barbary Coast or "Barbary States", derived from Berber, before the establishment of modern nation states in the region during the mid-20th century, Maghreb most commonly referred to a smaller area between the Atlas Mountains in the south and the Mediterranean Sea, often also including eastern Libya, but not modern Mauritania. As recently as the late 19th century it was used to refer to the Western Mediterranean region of coastal North Africa in general, and to Algeria, Morocco and Tunisia in particular.[7]
Partially isolated from the rest of the continent by the Atlas Mountains and the Sahara desert, inhabitants of the northern parts of the Maghreb have long had commercial and cultural ties to the inhabitants of the Mediterranean countries of Southern Europe and Western Asia, going back at least to the Phoenicians in the 1st millennium BC (the Phoenician colony of Carthage having been founded, according to tradition, in what is now Tunisia circa 800 BC).
The region was somewhat unified as an independent political entity during the rule of the Berber kingdom of Numidia, which was followed by the Roman Empire's rule or influence. That was followed by the brief invasion of the Germanic Vandals, the equally brief re-establishment of a weak Byzantine rule by the Byzantine Empire, the rule of the Islamic Caliphates under the Umayyads, the Abbasids, and the Fatimids. The most enduring rule was that of the local Berber empires of the Almoravids, Almohads, Hammadids, Zirids, Marinids, Saadi and Wattasids (to name some of those among the most prominent) from the 8th to 13th centuries.
The basis of Morocco's English name is Marrakesh, its capital under the Almoravid dynasty and Almohad Caliphate.[13] The origin of the name Marrakesh is disputed,[14] but is most likely from the Berber words amur (n) akushor "Land of God"If the sun is setting, then the center of the rainbow is to the east of you, and on or slightly below the horizon ... directly opposite the sun.
The sun never sets. The earth rotates, creating the illusion of the sun setting.
When the sun is not setting at the South Pole, Australia is experiencing Summer - just like lands in the northern hemisphere experience Summer when the sun is not setting at the North Pole.
