Salé, a Millennial City

Salé, Rabat's twin city, stands proudly on the right bank of the Bouregreg, forming with the Moroccan capital a harmonious and complementary urban ensemble. This thousand-year-old city, rich in historical heritage, has managed to preserve its authenticity while flourishing in modernity. Its centuries-old ramparts and bustling medina bear witness to a glorious past, particularly during the era of the Salé corsairs who sailed the Atlantic. Today, Salé benefits from dynamic urban development, with new residential neighborhoods and modern infrastructure that enhance its appeal. The Rabat-Salé tramway perfectly symbolizes this fraternal union between the two cities, facilitating exchanges and strengthening their common destiny.
