Salé is a city in north-western Morocco, on the right bank of the
Bou Regreg river, opposite the national capital Rabat, for which it
serves as a commuter town. Founded in about 1030 by Arabic-speaking
Berbers, the Banu Ifran, it later became a haven for pirates in the 17th
century as an independent republic before being incorporated into
Alaouite Morocco.
The city's name is sometimes transliterated as Salli or Sallee. The
National Route 6 connects it to Fez and Meknes in the east and the N1 to
Kénitra in the north-east. It recorded a population of 890,403 in the
2014 Moroccan census.
