Laâyoune-Sakia El Hamra, Administrative region in Western Sahara.
Laâyoune-Sakia El Hamra extends over 140,018 square kilometers, featuring four provinces and bordering the Atlantic Ocean to the west and Mauritania to the east.
The region emerged through a 2015 administrative reorganization, combining Es Semara Province with the previous Laâyoune-Boujdour-Sakia El Hamra territory under Moroccan governance.
Multiple languages intersect in the region, where Hassaniya Arabic, Tachelhit, and Moroccan Darija serve as primary means of communication among inhabitants.
The regional capital, Laayoune, connects to other major towns through a network of roads, with Smara positioned at the geographic center of the territory.
Sebkha Tah, located within the region's boundaries, marks the lowest elevation point in Western Sahara at 55 meters below sea level.
