A
fly will not get into a closed mouth – Moroccan proverb
Rabat,
population 2 million (2007 estimate), is the capital of the
Kingdom of Morocco. It is also the capital of the
Rabat-Salé-Zemmour-Zaer region.

The
city is located on the Atlantic Ocean at the mouth of the river
Bou Regreg. On the facing shore of the river lies Salé,
Rabat's bedroom community. Together the two cities with Témara
account for a population of 2 million. Unfortunately, silting
problems have diminished the city's role as a port; however,
Rabat and Salé still maintain relatively important
textile, food processing and construction industries; some are
from sweatshop labor by major multinational corporations (see
Salé).
In
addition, tourism and the presence of all foreign embassies in
Morocco serve to make Rabat the second most important city in the
country after the larger and more economically significant
Casablanca.
