Nador International Airport
Morocco's Mediterranean Gateway — Oriental Region
Morocco's Mediterranean Gateway — Oriental Region
Nador International Airport (NDR), also known as Nador–El Aroui Airport, is located 24 km south of Nador city in Morocco's Oriental region. It serves as the main gateway to Morocco's northeastern Mediterranean coast — a region known for its stunning lagoon, pristine beaches, and proximity to the Spanish enclave of Melilla.
The airport is a vital link for the Moroccan diaspora living in Europe — particularly in Belgium, the Netherlands, Spain, and France — who return each summer. With growing charter and low-cost connections, NDR is increasingly attracting tourists discovering Morocco's less-explored Mediterranean side, rich in Amazigh culture and unspoiled nature.
Nador airport sits about 24 km from Nador city, with 1 passenger terminal. NDR is the usual arrival point for the Melilla border crossing and the eastern Mediterranean coast. Below is how each option compares.
| Option | How it works | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Private transfer | Booked in advance for a fixed price (MAD 80–130 to Nador city, about 20–30 min). Your driver waits in arrivals with a name board and tracks the flight, so a delay costs you nothing. | Night arrivals, families, luggage |
| Taxi | Official taxis queue outside arrivals. Fares to the centre are set by tariff rather than metered on airport runs — agree the price before you get in, and confirm whether it is per car or per seat. | Short hops, solo travellers |
| Bus | Public transport to the terminal is limited. Most arrivals take a taxi or arrange a car in advance. | Limited |
| Car hire | The main rental desks are in the arrivals hall. Useful for touring, less so for city stays where parking is tight and the medina is closed to cars. | Onward road trips |
Car parks sit directly opposite the terminal, split between short-stay bays for pick-ups and drop-offs and long-stay areas for travellers leaving a car for the trip. Take a ticket on entry and pay at the machine in the terminal before returning to your vehicle — the barrier reads the paid ticket on the way out. Tariffs are posted at the entry barrier and rise steeply after the first free minutes, so for a short pick-up it is worth using the drop-off lane.
If you are being collected, a pre-booked transfer avoids airport parking altogether: the driver absorbs the parking charge and meets you inside the terminal.
Allow time for passport control, which can be slow when several long-haul flights land together. After baggage reclaim and customs you emerge into the public arrivals hall, where you will find ATMs and bureaux de change, SIM-card counters, car-hire desks and the taxi rank. Draw some dirham before you leave the terminal — Moroccan dirham is a closed currency and drivers and small cafés are cash-first.
