The town of Zeghanghane constitutes the second end of the Nador-Zeghanghane axis, renowned for its great commercial activity and also for its urban development.
The geographical location of the town of Zeghanghane makes it an intersection point for the rural communes: Ihaddaden, Ayt Sidar n Wedrar, Ayt Bouyfrour and Ixan. And given its economic importance, especially commercial, Zeghanghane is considered an urban centre that satisfies almost all the needs of the inhabitants of the surrounding communes regarding supplies and services.
The town of Zeghanghane has three main access points:
- Nador-Zeghanghane to the east
- Selouane-Zeghanghane to the west
- Ayt Sidal, Dar El Kebdani-Zeghanghane to the north.
The Saïdia-Tangier bypass road crosses the municipality.
The town is surrounded by mountain ranges, the highest and most important of which is Azrouhammar, which gives the town a special appeal.
In the centre of the town, there is a public garden that strongly resembles the gardens of Andalusia. Not far from this garden, one finds the water and forestry nursery which extends over several hectares. At its northern limit, one finds the 'Ibouyan' spring, whose water is highly appreciated by a significant number of inhabitants of the entire province. The water from this spring is very abundant and allows for the irrigation of several small fields.
Historically, the town of Zeghanghane is very famous for its resistance to Spanish colonisation. History vividly remembers the anti-colonial action led by the militant Charif Mohamed Ameziane, who led more than a hundred battles against the coloniser until his death on 15 May 1912.
