About this place
Nador is a coastal city in northeastern Morocco, the second-largest in the Oriental province. It sits beside Mar Chica, the country’s largest saltwater lagoon, and stretches toward the Cabo Tres Forcas peninsula jutting into the Mediterranean. The nearby Spanish exclave of Melilla and the busy ferry port give Nador a distinct cross-border character.
The city functions as a practical gateway for travelers arriving by air or sea, with direct connections to several European cities and regular ferry services from Spain and France. While it is not a major sightseeing hub, its coastal setting, local football culture, and affordable street food offer an authentic slice of everyday Moroccan life.

Planning Tips
- Airport arrival — no bus serves the airport directly; CTM buses toward Fez and other destinations pass through Jbel Arouit (near Hotel Tenerife, roughly 4 km from the terminal) for about 10 dirham.
- Ferry options — GNV runs weekly sailings from Sète via Barcelona, while Trasmediterránea operates nearly daily ferries from Almería and Motril.
- Bus connections — direct CTM buses link Nador to Fez (around 5 hours, 130 dirham) and other major cities; Beni Ansar serves as a key port next to Melilla.
- Street food find — for cheap grilled sardines and lentil soup, look for the small authentic restaurant near the coordinates 35.1765541, -2.9231576, popular with locals.
