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. Tourism and the presence of all foreign embassies serve to make Rabat the second most important city in the country.

About Rabat

Rabat covers an area of 102.9 sq. miles (278.6 sq. Km) and is estimated to have a population of 1.7 million people being the capital of the Kingdom of Morocco. It is also the capital of the Rabat-Salé-Zemmour-Zaer region.

Natural Science Museum

Apart from the history of the earth’s geological origins, this museum also has an impressive sauropod dinosaur on display. Its skeleton, all parts of which are completely authentic, was discovered in 1979 in the Azilal region of the High Atlas, where it lived 150 million years ago. A reconstruction of this harmless herbivore some 15 metres long makes it easier for us to imagine how it looked when it was actually roaming the earth.
