Which are the 10 largest cities in Morocco? The ranking of the 10 largest cities in Morocco is established on the basis of demographic distribution, and not on the basis of surface areas and areas. According to this criterion, it is naturally the capital Casablanca which comes first with a population estimated at more than 4 million inhabitants.
The 10 largest cities in Morocco concentrate about a third of the total population of the country. According to the information in our possession on the last census carried out in the Cherifian Kingdom, the country has a total of just over 35 million inhabitants. Of the 35 million inhabitants, around 4 million reside in the Moroccan capital, according to official demographic data. It is, therefore, no surprise that the first place in the ranking of the 10 largest cities in Morocco naturally goes to Casablanca.
According to the information we have, the Moroccan capital claims a little over 4 million inhabitants to date. In second place in the ranking, we find the city of Rabat, commonly known as the City of Light. For those who don’t know, many historic sites in the city are listed on the long list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Considered the second largest city in the country, Rabat currently boasts an estimated population of around 2.1 million inhabitants.
