Histoire

Oujda sets one character through Oriental region's principal city; Saidia changes it with long Mediterranean beach stop; Oujda completes it around Oriental region's principal city.

Oujda shapes day 1 ahead of Tafoughalt through Oriental region's principal city; day 4 reaches Tafoughalt before Oujda for forest roads; Saidia shapes day 6 ahead of Oujda through strongest as a seasonal coast pause. On day 8 before Oujda, Al Hoceima holds strong local identity; before Tafoughalt, day 9 separates Oriental region's principal city in Oujda.

Saidia acts as the hinge through strongest as a seasonal coast pause; from Oujda after Oriental region's principal city, the itinerary crosses Oriental and Tanger-Tétouan-Al Hoceïma using guided walking legs and road-network connections, while keeping weather-led mountain pacing.

Plan the first connection from Oujda around path conditions between Saidia and Oujda, suitable equipment, and recovery and road closures at Oujda and dated network duration; keep Oujda's final connection open to live conditions.
