The verdict
Do not treat central Oujda as a robust eclipse destination. If the city is your base, confirm precise coordinates and plan to move north toward a site with a larger margin inside the path.
The eastern horizon
The Sun reaches about 42.1 degrees altitude at maximum, so ordinary eastern obstructions are less severe than at sunrise. The main geometric problem is not the horizon but the path boundary. A point only a short distance south of the dataset coordinate could fall outside totality. Use a specialist interactive path map with your exact viewing coordinates before committing.
Weather and alternatives
Oujda's inland setting may avoid some coastal stratus, which is a real advantage if northern shores are cloudy. Heat, haze and local convection still need monitoring. Weather flexibility must be balanced against the need to move decisively north of the limit. A clear sky outside the path does not deliver totality.
Getting there
The city has an airport, rail connections and roads toward Berkane and the northern Oriental region. Those links make it a workable base, but eclipse traffic may concentrate on the same northbound routes. Travel the evening before if possible, and select a legal site well inside totality instead of stopping at the first point where a map line is crossed.
Build a fallback
Oujda Angads Airport has a longer computed duration than the city coordinate, showing how quickly duration changes near the edge. Locations farther north around Berkane provide a larger geometric margin. Your fallback should therefore be northward and early. If clouds force another move, preserve that path margin while comparing the eastern and inland forecasts.
