Oujda

Overview

Oujda is the easternmost city of Morocco and has been influenced by Algerian music and culture for years. This is, for example, where the best Rai ( a kind of Arabic music) is made. When the Algerian border was closed in 1994, Oujda suffered from the drying up of cross-border traffic.

The distinctive atmosphere of Oujda makes it a place worth visiting when in Morocco. It does not have any major sights, but should be included in any itinerary to the east of Morocco. The center of Oujda, along Boulevard Mohamed V is where you will find hotels, banks and the tourist office.
