RabatSaléZemmourZaer

Rabat-Salé-Zemmour-Zaer was a region of Morocco. It was located in the northwest of the country. The region was established in 1997 and was dissolved in 2015 as part of a territorial reorganization. Its capital was Rabat. The region encompassed the prefectures of Rabat, Salé, and Skhirat-Témara, as well as the provinces of Kénitra, Khémisset, and Sidi Kacem.

The geography of Rabat-Salé-Zemmour-Zaer was diverse, featuring a coastal plain along the Atlantic Ocean and inland areas with rolling hills and plains. The Oum Er-Rbia River flowed through the region. The climate was Mediterranean, characterized by hot, dry summers and mild, wet winters.

Economically, the region was significant. Agriculture played a role, with crops such as cereals and olives being cultivated. The coastal areas supported fishing activities. The region was also a major industrial and administrative hub, with Rabat serving as the national capital and a center for government and business. Salé, adjacent to Rabat, was also an important urban and industrial center. Tourism was present, particularly in Rabat with its historical sites.

The population of Rabat-Salé-Zemmour-Zaer was substantial, with the urban centers of Rabat and Salé being densely populated. The inhabitants were primarily Arabic and Berber speakers. The region's administrative dissolution meant its territory was incorporated into the new Rabat-Salé-Kénitra region.
