Rabat, the capital of Morocco, is located on the Atlantic Ocean at the mouth of the Bou Regreg River. Following the French invasion and occupation of Morocco in 1912, it became the country’s administrative capital. As one of Morocco's four imperial cities—alongside Fes, Marrakesh, and Meknes—Rabat boasts a population of two million, making it the second-largest city in the nation.
The city's history dates back to the Phoenician period, roughly 3,000 years ago. In the 10th century, Rabat emerged at the site of a former Roman settlement near Salé. By the mid-11th century, an Almohad sultan constructed a citadel for his troops.
In the 12th century, Sultan Yakub el-Mansur relocated the capital of the Almohad Empire to Rabat, using it as a military base for his campaigns in Spain and North Africa. This Moorish heritage is still evident in the city’s architecture, particularly in the Moorish neighborhoods. During the 17th century, Rabat and Salé joined forces to become the Republic of Bou Regreg, governed by Barbary pirates for nearly two centuries. Additionally, Spanish Muslims expelled from Spain settled in the city.
Entering the 20th century, Rabat fell under French rule, which established a protectorate and initiated extensive development to the south and west. Following 1912, the city’s population surged, along with its status as the new center of administration, education, and culture in Morocco.
Rabat's economy largely hinges on traditional manufacturing, encompassing sectors such as leather craftsmanship, pottery, and jewelry. Other industrial pursuits include garment production, fish processing, and carpet-making. Notably, the women of Rabat have made substantial contributions to the economy, creating a distinctive carpet and embroidery style known as Rabati.
