Abstract

The graceful city of Rabat-Salé is situated at the mouth of the Bou Regreg river on the Atlantic coast of Morocco. The capital of Morocco, Rabat-Salé is the ‘Washington DC’ of Morocco and its elegance contrasts with the metropolis of Casablanca, the country's principal commercial and industrial city. Traditionally, Rabat, lying to the south of the Bou Regreg, and Salé, lying to the north, have been rivals. Their historical evolution has been in every sense a tale of two cities. Today, although they are grouped into a single administrative unit and function economically as a single conurbation, each retains its own identity and considerable contrasts exist in the social structures of the two communities.
