Streets squares and districts to visit Mediterranean Coast & Rif

The remains of the wall erected by the Merinids dynasty separate the medina from the new city. You will enter the old city through one of the two monumental gates, including Bab Sidi Abdelouahab (the Head Gate), on which the Pasha used to display the heads of the beheaded rebels! You will then pass in front of the hammam El Bali, the oldest in the city and the most famous among the inhabitants. It preserves a beautiful Andalusian architecture. Near El-Attarine Square, stand the emblematic monuments of the old city: the three fountains with their colourful mosaics, the Great Mosque, built in 1298 on the orders of Sultan Yacoub Yussuf and the very beautiful medersa, built in 1335 in the tradition of Arab-Moorish architecture. To the north of the square, you can stroll through the kissaria (covered market), where cloth merchants meet carpet and clothing vendors and for some shopping for gold and silver jewelry, go to rue El-Mazouzi: rue des bijoutiers. Every Thursday, the great souk of Oujda is held in the medina near Bab Sidi Abdelouahab. In the east, Bab Al Gharbi is home to the oldest school in Morocco created by the French at the beginning of the 20th century. The former Algerian president, Abdelaziz Bouteflika, who was born in Oujda, is said to have spent his youth there. There is also an old hammam, Hammam Ejjjarda, dating from the 19th century and decorated in the Turkish style. At the exit of the medina, do not miss the superb Dar Sebti palace.

Small small place, between two lanes. It has nothing special in itself but it has a very authentic atmosphere because, late in the afternoon, you will always find sitting there, the elderly men of the village. They are returning the world for hours around a good tea, at the corner of a small shop.

This district, which is melted in the buildings of the medina, lies behind the Grand Socco, along the Mendoubia via the street of Italy. There is a Spanish architecture dating back to the th century.

Along the street of Italy, several shops and small streets draw the contrasting character of this neighborhood, lost between the East and the West. The neighborhood is peaceful and is now very good. He has long been inhabited by many Italian craftsmen and part of the Jewish community.

North of Nador, opening onto the Marchica lagoon, the Atalayoun peninsula is at the heart of a large-scale tourism project developed by Marchica Med as part of a sustainable, eco-tourism approach. Covering an area of almost 155 hectares, the site is entirely secure, with clean streets and well-mown lawns. In addition to its residential area, you can stay in a superb 5-star hotel, play golf in an exceptional setting or enjoy a drink overlooking the marina. More hotels are planned for the near future.
