The town lies between the administrative capital Rabat and the economic centre of Casablanca.
Within the past decade it has steadily developed; especially with high class beach properties.
Life in Skhirat is distinguished between the rural population living from agricultural products, the agile municipal town center and the ocean site, where an authentic small harbour provides work for many fisherman.
