Discover Rabat
Rabat is Morocco's capital on the Atlantic at the Bouregreg mouth. Salé stands across the river. The national administrative city is also one of the country's historic royal centres, giving it several overlapping urban roles.

Two banks, two city histories
The river mouth places older centres beside the coast and later development. Rabat and Salé are closely connected, but their names and histories remain distinct rather than one undifferentiated settlement.
Capital and wider region
Rabat-Salé-Kénitra covers much more than Rabat's centre. Keeping those scales separate preserves a particular river and coastal city, whose government role sits within a longer Atlantic urban history rather than replacing it.
