AL AKHAWAYN UNIVERSITY IN IFRANE
 Al Akhawayn University in Ifrane (AUI), Morocco, is a state-of-the- art university with well-developed and modern facilities. The 20-acre campus is located in the resort community of Ifrane in the middle Atlas Mountains. AUI is conceived as a Moroccan university, grounded in the historic strengths of African, Arab, and Islamic culture.
