Oriental, Administrative region in northeastern Morocco.
The Oriental region spans 36,241 square kilometers of land, incorporating mountains, Mediterranean coastline, and eight distinct provinces including Oujda-Angad and Nador.
The region underwent significant administrative reorganization in 2015 as part of Morocco's territorial reform, establishing new governance structures and provincial boundaries.
Local markets in Oujda and Nador display traditional crafts, agricultural products, and regional specialties that reflect the combined Arab and Berber heritage.
The region connects to other parts of Morocco through modernized road networks, with Oujda serving as the primary transportation and administrative center.
