Car Hire at Nador Airport

Airport travel guide

Located on Morocco’s eastern Mediterranean coast, Nador has been growing in nature as a tourist destination. These are three of the most interesting attractions in and around it:

• Gourgou. A large mountain about a 20 minute drive northwest of the city center, Gourgou (sometimes also written as Gurugu) is very popular with tourists as it provides stunning panoramic views of the city below and the sea in the distance. If you’re visiting during the busier tourism season, you might encounter some small restaurants and tea places in the area – and regardless of the time of the year, you are very likely to meet the area’s permanent inhabitants, wild African macaques.
• Ancient Fort of Tazouda. Located on top of the aforementioned Mount Gourgou, but arguably deserving special mention, the Tazouda Castle is one of the most notable historical landmarks in this part of the country. Built by the Marinids, a Berber dynasty that controlled the area in the medieval period, it was later captured by several other rulers of Nador, and is nowadays an important relic of the times.
• Beaches. For many visitors coming to Nador and its area, it is the Mediterranean itself that is the main attraction. There are lovely beaches and several resorts in or immediately next to Nador – Marchica in the northern part of the city is probably the most popular – but with a rental car, you can also explore the coastline east or west of the city.
