Question

What is the capital of Morocco?
A) Doha
B) Erbil
C) Muscat
D) Rabat

Answer 1

Hint: Morocco, officially the Kingdom of Morocco, is the Maghreb region of North Africa's northernmost country. It has land borders with Algeria to the east and the disputed territory of Western Sahara to the south and overlooks the Mediterranean Sea to the north and the Atlantic Ocean to the west.

Complete answer:
Rabat is Morocco's capital and the country's seventh-largest city, with a population of around 580,000 people and a metropolitan population of over 1.2 million people in 2014. It is also the administrative seat of the Rabat-Salé-Kénitra region. Rabat sits on the Atlantic Ocean, at the mouth of the Bou Regreg River, and is just across from Salé, the city's largest commuter town.

Rabat was created as a military town in the 12th century by the Almohad monarch Abd al-Mu'min. The city flourished steadily, but as the Almohads fell out of power, it entered into a long period of decay. Rabat became a sanctuary for Barbary pirates in the 17th century. In 1912, the French formed a protectorate over Morocco, with Rabat as its administrative capital. Morocco gained independence in 1955, and Rabat was designated as the country's capital.

Additional information:
- Doha is the capital of Qatar
- Erbil is the capital of the autonomous Kurdistan region of Iraq.
- Muscat is the capital of Oman

Therefore the correct answer is option ‘D’.

Note: Rabat is the administrative capital of Morocco. It has a lot of shopping districts and residential areas. The city's geographically dispersed neighbourhoods are as follows: the Medina (ancient town); the Oudayas and Hassan, both of which are located near the Bou Regreg; and the Atlantic Ocean.
