How The Month Feels
May gives Oujda bright days and a city-center rhythm that suits Bab Ahl Jamel and the other old gates. Galerie D'Art Maghreb Al Arabi and Musée Ethnographique Lalla Aicha round out the month when the sun is still strong.
What To Lock In Early
Book time for Bataille d'Isly, Bab Sidi Abdelwahab, and the two museums if you want a tighter route. Leave the exact order of Bab Ahl Jamel and Galerie D'Art Maghreb Al Arabi open, since May gives you enough daylight to move between them.
