Alaouite dynasty
The

(,
Sulālat al-ʿAlawiyyīn al-Fīlālīyn
) is the current
Moroccan royal family
. The name Alaouite comes from the

Sharif ibn Ali
became Prince of
Tafilalt

Mulay Al-Rashid
(1664–1672) was able to unite and pacify the country. The Alaouite family claim descent from

through his daughter
