Oujda was founded by the <strong>Zenata Berber chief Ziri Ibn Attia<\/strong> around 994.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is the capital of the prefecture of <strong>Oujda-Angad<\/strong>, in the <strong>Oriental<\/strong> region; its proximity to Algeria makes it a crossing point between Morocco and Algeria. It is a major city of Morocco.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because of its advantageous position at a rail and road junction, controlling traffic towards the <strong>High Plateaus<\/strong> and the <strong>South<\/strong> as well as transit to Algeria (this latter railway line has been closed since 1994), it has experienced rapid development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It serves as the <strong>regional capital<\/strong> for the whole eastern Morocco (administrations, commerce and services with a wide reach). It is situated in the heart of a fertile plain where <strong>wheat<\/strong>, <strong>olives<\/strong> and <strong>grapes<\/strong> are cultivated; <strong>goats<\/strong> and <strong>sheep<\/strong> are raised there. <strong>Industrial activities<\/strong>, relatively modest, are concentrated notably in the <strong>Al Boustane<\/strong> area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The city has an international airport and several faculties and institutions of higher education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Throughout its history, the vicissitudes experienced by Oujda were those of a border town passing from one power to another according to the fortunes of war and also a relay town on the <strong>Sijilmassa-Orient.<\/strong> After it was occupied by <strong>France<\/strong> in 1907, Oujda, faithful to the <strong>Alaouite Throne<\/strong>, contributed effectively to the struggle for Morocco&#8217;s independence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Among the city&#8217;s monuments are <strong>Bab El Gharbi<\/strong>, an archaeological gate opening onto Oujda&#8217;s square, and <strong>Bab Sidi Abdelwahab<\/strong>, opening onto Abdelwahab Square.<br>Oujda is an ancient and important city of <strong>Morocco<\/strong>. Today you can lose yourself in the <strong>souks<\/strong> of Oujda surrounded by the fortifications of the <strong>Kasbahs.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Oujda is the capital of eastern Morocco, the capital of the Masjids (mosques), or also the millennial city; it is one of\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1813,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[454],"tags":[110,114,198,58,196,197],"class_list":["post-7028","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-paysages","tag-artisanat","tag-histoire","tag-kasbah","tag-maroc","tag-oujda","tag-souk"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.4 -
