Salé : Michelin's recommendations

Salé was once a fortress, a prosperous city until the late 16C thanks to international trade, before being supplanted by Rabat, from which the Bou Regreg River separates it. It is currently benefiting from investments designed to give it a second wind by developing its riverbanks, a project for an arts and crafts complex and other tourist infrastructures. Salé’s real charm lies intra-muros between its souks and medersa. Be sure to buy some pottery here, a speciality of the town due to the nearby Oulja quarries.
