Which country had McDonald's first restaurant in Africa?

Morocco had McDonald’s first restaurant in Africa.

McDonald’s opened its first African restaurant in Casablanca, Morocco, on December 18, 1992. The location made Morocco both the chain’s first African market and its first market in the Arab world.

The Moroccan opening came before McDonald’s entered South Africa, where the first restaurant opened in Johannesburg in November 1995. That later opening is sometimes mistakenly remembered as Africa’s first because South Africa became one of the continent’s most prominent McDonald’s markets.

Egypt also joined later, and Kenya is not the answer to this historical question. The key distinction is between the first African outlet overall and the first outlet in a particular country or region. Casablanca’s 1992 opening gives Morocco the earliest date among the listed choices.
