Oujda is the largest city in the eastern part of Morocco.
E 'a few kilometers from the border (closed) with Algeria.
How to Reach?
airport is about 140km from Nador and Oujda is the only one in which Ryanair operates (for example, from Madrid) and the airport of the city is sparsely used and the flights are operated by only Airfrance and Royal Maroc, the 'new airport is being Construction (tralaltro the new project includes futuristic design).
From Nador you can take a Grand Taxi price of 9 € per person, the price is high given the 160 km and the time is shorter than the CTM bus (comfortable and at European level) and the common bus (every hour, but uncomfortable dirty and slow).
What to see?
The city offers little in spite of its antiquity to the tourist, a wall ancient and intact for a part, a medina in the process of restructuring (2010), a French church (closed to enter if you ask some brother nearby) and Mesquita the main square which is the oldest building in the city.
For those who do not appreciate the Moroccan food near the bus station (a bit outside the city) and the train station there is Mac Donald, otherwise the path Mohammed V you can find many bars of all types (such as pizzerias, cafes, bars, kebab, etc. ..).
Where to stay?
In via Mohammed V are the most luxurious hotels, perhaps the middle way is the Royal for 25 € which gives you a single European standard, while those with a more limited budget can try the side streets the main square (where the tourist information, among other unwise given the scarcity of information) before entering the medina there are numerous hotels to give you a € 6 single or double room (you can not book online but will always find a hole for you).
