Nador

Nador is a coastal town and the second largest city in the Oriental province of Morocco.



Understand
To the east, Nador lies adjacent to the largest saltwater lagoon, Mar Chica, in Morocco. And, to the north, it borders the Spanish exclave of Melilla. It is at the base of the Cabo Tres Forcas peninsula that extends into the Mediterranean.

By plane
Nador International Airport offers international flights to France, Spain, Belgium, Germany and the Netherlands and domestic flights to Casablanca and Tangiers, and acts as a second airport for travellers to and from Melilla.

Main airlines are Royal Air Maroc, Air Arabia Maroc and Ryanair.

Getting there/away: there is no bus to/from the airport, but many buses to Fez and other destinations stop in Jbel Arouit (near Hotel Tenerife around 4 km from the airport). Bus cost (or saves you if you come from the south) is 10 dirham (CTM).

There are 2 or 3 hotels in Jbel Arouit if you depart early, but they are not that budget-friendly (200 dirham).



By train
Twice daily to Taourirt with connection to Fez, Casablanca, etc.



By bus
Several direct bus links operate between Nador and major Moroccan cities.
 * Fez 5 hours, 130 dirham by CTM
 * Beni Ansar - one of the main ports of Morocco, bordered on the north by Melilla

By ferry
Nador is one of the largest ferry port in Morocco. GNV operates weekly ferries from Sete with stopover in Barcelona. While Trasmediterránea runs almost daily ferries from Almeria and Motril (Granada).

- Go to the football stadium (beetween the police station and the beach) at the weekend or ask locals when there will be a match. It is super fun (even if you do not like football), since the locals have a blast and you can talk with locals about football if you want to.
