My suggestion
If you can visit the city at the end of September or the beginning of October, you'd have the opportunity to participate in the Autumn harvest festival, which takes place at the end of the olive harvest.

My suggestion
From Oujda, you will find many connections going to the coast and the beautiful beaches that are still little known to Western tourists.
