Oujda
The crossroads of the Oriental.
At the eastern gate, Oujda cultivates a crossroads identity, between a lively medina, Gnaoua and Raï music. A springboard to the oases and high plateaus.
A little history
Founded in 994 by Ziri ibn Atiyya, Oujda has always been a border city, fought over by empires and neighbour to Algeria. Its Bab Sidi Abdelwahab gate and medina keep the memory of this caravan crossroads; raï and gnaoua set its pulse.
