Médina de Salé
A historic core more authentic than its neighbors
About this site
Less visited than Rabat's medina, Salé's offers an immersion into a more everyday Morocco, between peaceful lanes, lively markets and historic buildings. A once-thriving religious and commercial center, it preserves a traditional urban fabric where the Great Mosque, several medersas and zawiyas stand side by side, far from the tourist bustle of the neighboring capital.
