WESTERN SAHARA is a territory and non-country predominantly controlled by Morocco in Northwestern Africa. Three countries border Western Sahara: Algeria to the east (a small border), Mauritania to the south and east, and Morocco to the north. Western Sahara also borders the North Atlantic Ocean and is southeast of the Canary Islands. There is not a formal capital, but the largest city is Laâyoune. There are two currencies that W. Sahara uses: the Moroccan Dirham and Sahrawi Peseta, a locally issued currency.
