The Quiz: The Maghreb is a region in the northwestern part of which continent?
South America
Asia
Africa
North America
The word “Maghreb” literally means “west” in Arabic, and since the Maghreb is located west of the Arabian Peninsula, the name is appropriate. The modern region of the Maghreb is an area in northwestern Africa consisting primarily of Libya, Tunisia, Morocco, and Algeria. The area lies between the Mediterranean Sea to the north and the vast sands of the Sahara to the south, and has formerly been known as the Barbary Coast.
The correct answer to this quiz is Africa.
