Al Akhawayn University or AUI (Arabic: جامعة الأخوين, literally meaning The Two Brothers' University referring to the King of Saudi Arabia and the King of Morocco) is a university located in Ifrane, Morocco, just 60 kilometers from the imperial city of Fez, in the midst of the Middle Atlas Mountains. The creation of AUI was largely funded by the King of Saudi Arabia from a large endowment intended for the cleanup of an oil spill off the coast of Morocco.[1] However, the cleanup was never realized and the endowment was used to create the university. AUI was inaugurated officially by King Hassan II on 16 January 1995.
