Oujda

Oujda — Morocco’s Eastern Crossroads

Close to the Algerian border, Oujda has long sat at a crossroads of trade routes between the Maghreb and the Mediterranean. Its old medina retains a lived-in, largely local character rather than a tourist-oriented one, built around shaded squares, historic gates, and the palm-grove oasis of Sidi Yahya just outside town — a well-kept secret for travellers wanting an authentic, less-visited corner of Morocco.

Why Oujda?

  • The historic Oujda Medina and its gates
  • The palm-grove oasis and shrine at Sidi Yahya
  • Local souks away from the usual tourist trail
  • A genuine gateway city between Morocco and Algeria
