Oujda, the Oriental beauty

BEARING the traces of a long history, the city of Oujda is a very old land of settlement and passage. Because of its strategic position, the city has always been co­veted and has had a turbulent history. It was destroyed and then rebuilt se­veral times due to the continual wars that ravaged the region. However, the city, where very diverse commu­nities have lived, has also inherited an exceptional cultural diversity. A breathtaking historical density that does not however reflect its modest heritage which dates back to its foun­dation in 994, by Ziri Ibn Attia.
