Khémisset Province

Khémisset Province is an administrative region within Rabat-Salé-Kénitra that spans eighteen municipalities across different landscapes. The territory includes both flat agricultural areas and elevated zones, with towns and villages distributed throughout.

The province took its current shape following administrative reforms in 2015 that reorganized Morocco's regional structure. This reorganization established its role within Rabat-Salé-Kénitra and clarified its status as a distinct administrative area.

The province shows its cultural roots in weekly markets where local crafts and traditional goods are sold, reflecting both Berber and Arab heritage. You can find these gathering spaces in most towns, where people come together as they have for generations.

Khemisset, the provincial capital, connects easily to major cities through regular bus services and serves as the main transportation hub. From there, you can reach the various municipalities using local buses or shared taxis.

The province serves as an important agricultural hub where farmers cultivate different crops at varying elevations across the terrain. This elevation diversity allows communities to grow different types of food throughout the year and supports the region's farming economy.
