Nador Al Aaroui International Airport serves the Nador province in northeastern Morocco, connecting the region to domestic and European destinations with particular importance for the large Moroccan diaspora in Spain, the Netherlands, and Belgium. Situated near the town of Al Aaroui, approximately 25 kilometres from Nador city centre, the airport has undergone expansion to handle growing seasonal traffic. It plays a vital economic and social role for a region heavily reliant on remittances and tourism from expatriate communities.

Inside the terminal, food options are limited to a small café and snack bar offering Moroccan staples such as harira soup, sandwiches, and mint tea. A wider variety of dining is available in Al Aaroui town and Nador city, where local restaurants serve fresh Mediterranean seafood, grilled meats, and traditional Riffian dishes. Travellers are advised to carry snacks for longer layovers as terminal facilities can become stretched during peak summer diaspora travel.
- Arrive early during July and August when the airport is extremely busy with diaspora travellers returning from Europe.
- Agree on taxi fares before departing the airport as meters are rarely used by grand taxis.
- Exchange currency in Nador city rather than at the airport for better rates.
- Check that your rental car agreement covers travel across Morocco, as some local operators impose regional restrictions.
