Jbala_Region

The Jebala region is a mountainous territory situated in the northwestern and north-central parts of the Kingdom of Morocco, running parallel to both the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean. It encompasses the entire southern coastline of the Strait of Gibraltar—lying a mere 14 kilometers from its Iberian neighbor across the narrowest point between the two shores—while extending southward to reach the northern fringes of the Middle Atlas Mountains.
