A Moroccan baker skillfully bakes bread in a traditional wood-fired oven.
Description and itinerary setting
Kaak Oujdi is the eastern Moroccan ring bread or biscuit perfumed with anise, cardamom and toasted sesame. Depending on the bakery, it can be crisp and dry or more brioche-like, but the ring shape and spice profile connect it to Oujda, Berkane and Taourirt. The dough is kneaded, formed into loops, proofed when yeast is used, then baked until the sesame is fragrant and the crust holds up to dipping in tea. It should not be merged with Safi’s kaak mesfioui or Rabat’s almond-filled kaak: shared vocabulary hides different local formulas.
Ingredients and raw materials
Core
- wheat flour
- anise seed
- cardamom
- toasted sesame
- salt
- water
Optional or maker-specific
- yeast
- sugar

How it is made
- Toast sesame and blend the bakery’s declared anise-cardamom spice profile into the flour.
- Knead with water and the declared fat or eggs, rest or proof, then shape closed rings of even thickness.
- Bake until the chosen soft or crisp style is fully set; cool before packing to prevent steam-softening.
Cultural accounts
Culinary references distinguish kaak Oujdi through its eastern Moroccan geography and anise-cardamom-sesame seasoning. The ring belongs to a wider kaak family, but its local identity should remain intact.

- Atalayoun Lagoon Peninsula Walk
Atalayoun is the place to read Marchica as water, shore and planned waterfront in the same walk. From the peninsula, changing angles reveal the lagoon's scale, Nador's urban edge and Gourougou behind it. The activity should be a paced public-realm circuit led by a birding or landscape guide, not an implication that every marina, hotel or private development is open. Stops can cover lagoon restoration, water exchange, wintering birds and the choices involved in developing a sensitive shoreline.
- Ahfir
아피르는 오리앙탈 지방의 시장 마을로, 베르카네와 알제리 국경으로 가는 길 가까이에 있다 — 주말 수크가 주변 평원 마을들을 가축·농산물·소식 거래로 끌어모으는, 돌아가는 농업 중심지다. 동부 시장 마을다운 서두르지 않는 걸음으로 산다: 수크 날은 붐비고 한 주 나머지는 고요하며, 거리는 이 지역을 떠받치는 일상 장사로 차 있다.
- Angad AOG Wine
Angad is a guaranteed-origin wine appellation in Morocco’s Eastern wine region. Its inclusion broadens the beverage map beyond Meknes and Casablanca while avoiding a common mistake: an appellation is not a brand and does not prove that a restaurant’s unnamed pour comes from the zone.

The Maghreb Film Festival makes Oujda a meeting point for feature and short films from across the region, with screenings accompanied by discussion, competition and professional exchange.
- Figuig Palm Grove Harvest and Water Heritage: a seasonal guide
Figuig's palm harvest is meaningful because it sits inside a three-level garden and water system, not because dates can be sampled on demand. This locally coordinated programme follows the actual agricultural window announced by hosts. Components may include a garden walk, explanation of date varieties, a consented demonstration of sorting or storage, an irrigation lesson and a meal using products genuinely available that day.
