Oriental, Former administrative region in northeastern Morocco
The Oriental region covers 90,127 square kilometers of varied terrain, from Mediterranean coastline to mountains, plains, and desert landscapes near the Algerian border.
The region underwent territorial restructuring in 2015, incorporating Guercif Province from the former Taza-Al Hoceima-Taounate region into its administrative boundaries.
Moroccan Arabic serves as the primary language for 86 percent of the population, while 38 percent communicate in Rif-Berber throughout the eight provinces.
Three airports, including the major Nador Al-Aroui facility, connect the region to international destinations, serving over 1 million passengers annually.
The Port of Beni Ensar in Nador operates as the main maritime gateway, facilitating trade between Morocco, Europe, and other Mediterranean countries.
