Rabat
or NEW SALLEE, a seaport of Morocco, on the S. side of the Bu- Ragreb, at its entrance into the Atlantic.
It stands on cliffs in the midst of gardens, and is overlooked by a large citadel. The most conspicuous object is, however, the tower of Beni -Hassan (180 feet high), near it is the ruined mosque of Almanzor. Carpets, shoes and mats are made, and woolens dyed. Formerly it was the center of the European trade with Morocco; it still exports olive oil, grain, hides, flax, wool, maize, and mil- ` let. Pop. (1917) 37,548 .
