Oujda| Industrial and commercial city in northern Morocco, near the border with Algeria; population (2004) 400,700. It trades in wool, grain, and fruit; there is lead, coal, and zinc mining. Tourism is important. The Moroccan and Algerian railway systems meet here. |
| Founded in 944 by the Berbers, it was destroyed and rebuilt so many times that it became known as the ‘city of fear’. |
