Nador, Mediterranean port city in northeastern Morocco

The coastal city of Nador spreads along a salt lagoon called Mar Chica, which spans 25 kilometers and covers 4,000 hectares of water surface.

Founded by Berber tribes in the nineteenth century, Nador remained under Spanish administration from 1912 until Morocco gained independence in 1956.

The population of Nador consists primarily of Riffian-Berbers who maintain their traditions through the Tarifit language and regional customs.

Nador functions as the second largest banking center in Morocco, with numerous financial institutions serving local residents and international transactions.

The Mar Chica lagoon development project includes seven distinct zones featuring residential areas, hotels, and economic spaces across the waterfront landscape.
