5 unusual facts about Nador railway stations


Nador railway stations

The station was opened on 10 July 2009 by King Mohammed VI, together with the town's other station Nador South and the line to Tawrirt.

The construction of the 117 kilometer track to Taourirt cost 1.776 million dirham (approximately 180 million).

The railway line doesn't terminate in Nador (even when the name of the line is Taourirt-Nador) but past Nador Ville there are two more stations: Beni Ansar (or Bin Anşār) Ville and Beni Ansar Port.

The branch-line to/from Nador connects to the main east-west line near Taourirt.
