Nador Province

Nador Province sits along the Mediterranean coast with around 25 municipalities, including the capital city Nador and towns such as Al Aaroui and Beni Ansar. The land stretches from coastal areas inland and combines urban centers with rural communities.

The region developed from a small settlement into a major administrative area after Morocco gained independence in 1956. This transformation established it as an important hub in the northeast of the country.

Amazigh and Arab traditions shape daily life here, visible in the local markets and seasonal celebrations throughout the towns. People maintain a strong connection to the sea through fishing practices and crafts that remain important to their communities.

The province connects well through Nador International Airport and a Mediterranean port, making travel and business easier. Visitors have several transportation options available to explore the municipalities and coastal areas.

The Bou Areg Lagoon separates the land from the sea and creates special living conditions for birds and other wildlife in this coastal area. This ecosystem draws nature watchers and photographers interested in observing the local animal populations.
