Arraiján is a major city in Panama's Panama Province, located about 20 kilometers west of the capital, Panama City, and is the centerpiece of Panama's metropolitan area. As one of the most densely populated satellite towns, it is home to a large number of the capital's commuters seeking a more affordable life, with a resident population of over 200,000 people. With an economy based on commerce, light industry and agriculture, and several large shopping centers, wholesale markets and industrial parks, Araihan is an important economic center in western Panama. The city's proximity to the Pan-American Highway and the 15-minute drive from Tocumen International Airport make it a key link between the capital and the rest of the country. The local culture is a blend of Panamanian traditions, with popular specialties such as "sancocho" chicken stew and fresh seafood markets, making it an ideal place to experience daily life in Panama.
