Rabat
City (metro. area pop., with Sal\u00e9 , 1994: 1,386,000), capital of Morocco. It is situated on the Atlantic coast at the mouth of the Bou Regreg River, opposite Sal\u00e9 . One of Morocco's four imperial cities, it was founded in the 12th cent. by Almohad ruler Abd al-Mumin as a ribat (camp) quartering troops for his holy war against Spain. After 1609 the unified community of Rabat-Sal\u00e9 became the home of large numbers of Andalusian Moors who had been driven from Spain and, later, of the Sallee Corsairs, the most dreaded of Barbary Coast pirates. Under the French, it was made the administrative capital of a French protectorate after 1912. Now a center of the textile industry, it is noted for its carpets, blankets, and leather handicrafts.
