Zaïda is a city in Tsabara, located near the extreme northwestern tip of the country in the province of Netanya. It lies on the eastern shore of the Eastern Aurean Strait opposite Montecara. The largest settlement on Netanya's northwestern coast, Zaïda is notable for its Euclean-majority population and its blend of Gaullican and Atudite cultures.

Zaïda is a popular destination for tourists and expatriates from southeastern Euclea. Eucleans, notably retirees and young people taking a gap year, are drawn to it as a Gaullophone-majority city with beaches, affordable homes, and large communities from their native countries.

The city is served by ferries to Montecara and Emessa, to Precea and Chorto in Paretia, and to the Île du Safran. Conversely, it is also a major point of departure for Tsabarans traveling to Euclea.

Since the outbreak of the Tsabaran Civil War, it has been a focal point for refugees attempting to flee to Euclea.
