Βρίσκεται κοντά στα σύνορα της Ελλάδας με τη Βουλγαρία και είναι κτισμένο στις νότιες πλαγιές της οροσειράς Κούλας σε υψόμετρο 620 μέτρα. Πολιτισμικά ανήκει στα Πομακοχώρια της Ξάνθης και στα πομάκικα λέγεται Σέλο. Επί τουρκοκρατίας το ονόμαζαν Kışlalar ή Γιάσορα ενώ μετά την απελευθέρωση αναφέρεται στο ΦΕΚ 194Α - 14/08/1924 να ορίζεται έδρα της τότε κοινότητας Ωραίου. Ο πληθυσμός του στην απογραφή του 2011 ήταν 576 κάτοικοι. Η σύζυγος του Τομ Χανκς και αστέρι της Χόλυγουντ, Ρίτα Γουίλσον έχει καταγωγή από το Ωραίο. Ο πατέρας της ο Άλαν Γουίλσον με παλιά ονομασία Χασάν Χαλήλ Ιμπραήμ, μετέπειτα Ιμπραήμωφ γεννήθηκε σε ένα μικρό χωριό κοντά στο Ωραίο, στο Ρεύμα, μετά έμεινε στο Ωραίο και στη συνέχεια έφυγε στις ΗΠΑ. Στο Ωραίο υπάρχουν αξιοθέατα όπως το φρούριο Γκράντιστε και το "Γεφύρι του Παπά" κοντά στο Ρεύμα, εκεί που βρίσκεται ο παραδοσιακός νερόμυλος του Χαλίλ. Η γέφυρα του Παπά όπως και η γέφυρα του Ρέμματος έχουν χαρακτηριστεί ιστορικά διατηρητέα μνημεία. (el)
