Bouarfa Airport (UAR/GMFB) serves the remote eastern Moroccan town of Bouarfa, situated near the Algerian border in the country's Oriental region. The airport functions as a small but important transport link for this isolated desert community, supporting both limited scheduled services and occasional charter flights.

💡 Local Tip
Bring layers of clothing—Bouarfa sits at elevation in a semi-arid plateau where temperatures can swing dramatically between hot days and surprisingly cold nights, even in milder seasons.
