Nador (in Arabic: الناظور) is a large port city in north-eastern Morocco. Located in the Rif, in the Oriental administrative region, it adjoins the Nador lagoon.
The Nador agglomeration is surrounded by the territories of the Rifians of Kebdana to the east (a region near the Algerian border) and Ayt Said to the west (towards Al Hoceima). Its economic activity is essentially linked to fishing, like Melilla, and all kinds of traffic that the Rifians call 'trabando' (petrol, food, etc.) with Algeria and Melilla, as well as the transit of Moroccans residing abroad via the port of Beni Ansar. The language spoken by the vast majority is the Amazigh language known as "Tarifit" (called Rifiya or Zenatiya), followed by Spanish (even if in the case of the eastern Rif) and French.
Nador is inhabited mostly by the Rifians of Ikerayane (of which the city is the capital) but also others, such as those of Ayt Said, Ayt Oulichk, Izenayane, Ichabdanane (Kebdana), Ayt-Snassen, Ayt Boyh (Ayt boyahyé), Ayt Stoute, Temsamane and the powerful Ayt Tuzin tribe. Nador is one of the most beautiful cities in Morocco.
