Alaouite Dynasty


 

The Alaouite Dynasty is the name of the current Moroccan royal family. The name Alaouite comes from its founder, Al-Raschid (or Ali Cherif), who became Sultan in 1666. Al-Raschid, unlike preceding dynasties, did not seize power but was formally invited by the people of Fez to take over the throne of Morocco.
