Cape Bojador, Bojador Province, Morocco


🇲🇦 Cape Bojador is town near a headland on the west coast of Western Sahara. The name of the surrounding province also derives its name from the cape (Bojador Province).

The original name of the cape in Arabic is Abu Khaṭar (ابو خطر), meaning "father of danger". It is shown on nautical charts, media and academic research with the original Portuguese name "Cabo Bojador", sometimes spelled "Cape Boujdour". It is said that it is also known as the "Bulging Cape", although no references to this usage are to be found in standard geographical references.

The cape is not prominent on maps but may be located by looking 220 km (120 nautical miles) due south of the south-western point of the hook of Fuerteventura, Canary Islands.
