Rabat

Rabat (Arabic: الرِّبَاط) is the capital city of Morocco and the country's seventh largest city with an urban population of approximately 580,000 (2014). 

Rabat is located on the Atlantic Ocean at the mouth of the river Bou Regreg.

Rabat was founded in the 12th. century by Almohads. The city steadily grew but went into an extended period of decline following the collapse of the Almohads. In the 17th. century Rabat became a haven for Barbary pirates. 

The French established a protectorate over Morocco in 1912 and made Rabat its administrative center. Morocco achieved independence in 1955 and Rabat became its capital.

Silt-related problems have diminished Rabat's role as a port; however it still maintains important textile, food processing and construction industries. In addition, tourism and the presence of all foreign embassies in Morocco serve to make Rabat one of the most important cities in the country. 

The Moroccan capital was ranked at second place by CNN in its "Top Travel Destinations of 2013". It is one of four Imperial cities of Morocco, and the medina of Rabat is listed as a World Heritage Site.
