Oujda, the lively capital of Morocco’s Oriental region, offers a captivating blend of history, culture and easy-going charm.
Just a few kilometres from the Algerian border, the city reveals a different side of Morocco—less crowded yet rich in tradition. Within its ancient medina, narrow lanes lead to bustling souqs scented with spices and fresh mint tea, while elegant Moorish gates and centuries-old mosques tell stories of cross-cultural influence.
Stroll along tree-lined boulevards, pause in shady gardens like Parc Lalla Aicha, and discover the city’s musical heartbeat—Oujda is known as the birthplace of Rai music. With its warm hospitality, distinctive eastern flavours and a relaxed pace, Oujda makes an inviting gateway to Morocco’s less-travelled east and a perfect starting point for adventures across the Oriental region.
