List of municipalities, communes, and arrondissements of Morocco

The communes of Morocco, comprising urban municipalities and rural communes, together with arrondissements, constitute the lowest level of administrative division in the country, below the level of prefectures and provinces.

Municipal types

In Morocco, local administrative divisions at the communal level are classified into three types:

• Municipality – an administrative unit with predominantly urban characteristics.
• Arrondissement – a subdivision within a larger municipality, typically found in major urban areas such as Casablanca or Rabat.
• Rural commune – an administrative unit characterized by predominantly rural territory.
