Rabat is the capital of the Kingdom of Morocco and the administrative capital of the Rabat-Salé-Kenitra region. Located on the Atlantic coast, at the mouth of the Bu Regreg river, which separates it from the neighboring city Salé, Rabat is a city of great political, cultural and economic importance. With an approximate population of 1.9 million in its metropolitan area, it is the second most populated city in the country after Casablanca. Rabat stands out for its mix of ancient history and modernity, with historical monuments such as the Kasbah of the Udayas and the Hassan Tower, in addition to being home to the Royal Palace, official residence of the King of Morocco. The city is recognized for its environmental commitment, with numerous gardens and green spaces that have earned it the nickname 'Green Imperial City'. In addition, Rabat is a cultural and educational center, with prestigious universities and international events such as the Mawazine Festival and the designation as World Book Capital for 2026 by UNESCO. Its strategic location on the Atlantic coast and its moderate Mediterranean climate make Rabat a special place to live and visit.
