What is .المغرب?
IANA delegated .المغرب on May 3, 2011, as part of the effort to let people use domain names entirely in their own script.
A little context on Morocco: the capital is Rabat, languages include Arabic and Berber, the currency is the Moroccan dirham (MAD) and the international dialing code is +212.
Next door on the map, you'll find .dz for Algeria and .es for Spain.
IANA lists Agence Nationale de Réglementation des Télécommunications (ANRT) as the manager of .المغرب, with an address in Morocco. The registry's website is http://www.registre.ma. ccTLD managers set their own policies — who can register, which second-level names exist, pricing to registrars — so those rules differ from country to country.
Under the hood, the root zone points to 7 name servers for .المغرب, 6 of them reachable over IPv6. There is no DS record for .المغرب in the root zone, which means the TLD is not DNSSEC-signed at the top level.
Morocco also has another country-code domain in the root zone: .ma.
