Explore typical Oujda prices for the medina, transport, food and accommodation in Morocco's eastern gateway city.

Per personOujda is one of Morocco's most affordable regional capitals, offering an authentic eastern experience far removed from the inflated tourist pricing of Marrakech or Fes.

Luxury travel in Oujda ranges from 1,400 DH to 2,500+ DH per day, providing high-end accommodations at top international chain hotels, private chauffeured transfers to the nearby Mediterranean beach resort of Saidia, and upscale dining.
Because Oujda sees far fewer international tourists, everyday expenses like food, local transport, and hotel rates remain consistently low year-round without high-season price spikes.
