Tangier, Morocco: Planning Your Trip

Planning Your Trip

Things to do, what to eat and drink, where to stay, getting there, culture and customs, money saving tips.

Tangier has long been romanticized by artists, Beat poets, and writers who have arrived at its busy shores seeking adventure. Tangier has also been a gateway connecting Europe and the rest of Africa. Cruise ships often dock at the city on their way from the Atlantic to the Mediterranean, and travelers in Europe find it easy to take a short flight or a quick ferry from Spain to the port of Tangier.

Although most visitors to Tangier come for a day, the charm of the city is best enjoyed by spending a few days here. This guide will help you prepare for the perfect trip to Tangier.

• Best Time to Visit: The best time to visit Tangier is fall (September to November) or spring (March to May) when the weather is ideal and the holiday crowds aren't around. Summer can be unbearably hot, although the ocean breeze helps to keep it cooler than other Moroccan cities.
• Language: The two official languages of Morocco are Modern Standard Arabic and Tamazight, but Moroccan Arabic is what's most commonly spoken on the street. In Tangier, street signs are often in Arabic and French. Locals, especially those working in tourism, can often switch seamlessly between Arabic, French, Spanish, and English.
• Currency: The local currency is the Moroccan dirham, and one dirham is subdivided into 100 centimes. Visa and Mastercard are accepted by a growing number of businesses, but it's a good idea to carry local currency as well, especially for shopping in the market.
• Getting Around: Many parts of Tangier that are visited by tourists are accessible by walking, but petit taxis are also available for getting around faster.
• Travel Tip: While hospitable and friendly folk abound in Tangier, be careful when you're in a touristy area and you're offered something for "free," because it is rarely free. Whether it's a guided tour, help buying ferry tickets, or directions to your hotel, expect to be asked for payment at the end.

Tangier doesn't have quite the offbeat charm it did in the 1940s and 1950s, when you could rub shoulders with the likes of Truman Capote, Paul Bowles, and Tennessee Williams. But if you give it some time and ignore the tourist tours, it will grow on you. Tangier is an interesting, cosmopolitan mix of African and European influences. As with many cities in Morocco , there's an old town (Medina) and a new town (Ville Nouvelle).

• Explore the Medina: Tangier's Medina (Old Walled City) is a lively place and feels like stepping back in time. Its labyrinth of alleyways is where you'll find the souks, marketplaces of stalls selling spices, tanned leather, food items, metals, and more. Tourist trinkets are plentiful here and if this is your only stop in Morocco, buy away. But if you plan to continue traveling in Morocco, you'll find better deals elsewhere.
• Tour the American Legation Museum :  Morocco was the first nation to recognize American independence, and the U.S. established a diplomatic mission in Tangier in 1821. Now a museum, the Tangier American Legation is located in the southwest corner of the Medina and worth a look. The museum houses some fascinating art including a room dedicated to Paul Bowles and works by Eugene Delacroix, Yves Saint Laurent, and James McBey.
• Savor a Meal at Place de France:  This plaza is the gateway to the Ville Nouvelle, or New City. Adjacent to the Medina, the Ville Nouvelle has modern restaurants and some Western chains. For a bite to eat or some tea while enjoying the view of the sea, try Terrasse des Paresseux next to Place de France.
• Marvel at Moroccan Art at the Kasbah:  The Kasbah is located high on a hill in Tangier with some good views of the ocean. The old Sultan's palace (built in the 17th century) lies within the Kasbah's walls. It is known as Dar El Makhzen and is now a museum that houses fine examples of Moroccan art.
• People-watch at Grand Socco: This large square at the main entrance of the Medina is a busy transport hub and a good place to watch the chaos of traffic, carts, and people go about their daily routines while sitting in the plaza and enjoying a cup of tea.
• Enjoy a Nearby Beach:  Tangier does have some beautiful beaches, but the ones closest to town are rather dirty. If you want beach time in Tangier, consider taking a taxi about 25 minutes to Achakkar Beach, which is home to some incredible rock formations called the Hercules Caves.

The two dishes you'll most commonly see on restaurant menus—especially around the Medina—are tagine and couscous . Couscous is a North African staple grain that's been eaten by indigenous Berber tribes for at least 1,000 years. The fluffy grain is served topped with stewed vegetables or meats and always hits the spot. Tagine is the unofficial national dish of Morocco and it's served in the earthen clay pot called a tajine . The dish uses slow-cooked beef, lamb, or chicken with hearty vegetables, local spices, and dates for a touch of sweetness.

After you've tried the two most popular dishes, venture out for other Morrocan specialties. Bastilla—a savory meat pie traditionally made with pigeon—hearkens back to when Morocco and Spain were both ruled by the Moors. If you're an eggplant fan or just eggplant curious, zaalouk is a rich eggplant tomato sauce used as a savory dip.

Although Morocco is a Muslim country, alcohol consumption is allowed and you'll find plenty of bars that cater to tourists around the waterfront and the Ville Nouvelle. But the most ubiquitous drink is mint tea, often called Moroccan mint tea because of how enmeshed it is in the local culture. The hot green tea brewed with spearmint and lots of sugar is served year-round and at all times of the day.

Tangier has a wide range of accommodations, from affordable youth hostels to five-star hotels, but if you want an authentic Moroccan experience, look for a local riad . Riads are traditional homes with an interior patio garden and oftentimes have a rooftop terrace, as well. The hustle of the street and walking through the Medina can overwhelm the senses, so retreating to your peaceful riad is usually a welcome respite.

Wherever you choose to stay, it's recommended to pick your accommodations and make a reservation before arriving. You may be confronted by hotel touts trying to convince you to stay at their hotel. To avoid stress, have the phone number and address of your lodging written down, and plan out how you're you're going to get there before arriving in Tangier.

If you take a taxi and your taxi driver pretends not to know the location of your hotel, take another taxi. Most upscale hotels can also arrange a driver for you, which alleviates much of that stress..

It may be hectic and overwhelming when you arrive, but once you get to your lodging and can drop off your luggage, the rest of your time in Tangier will be much more relaxed.

Many visitors make a stop in Tangier while visiting Spain. The easiest—and most likely the cheapest—way to get to Tangier is to go by plane. Flights to Tangier leave from almost all of the major Spanish airports.

If you're already in southern Spain, Tangier is just a 30-minute ferry ride away and serves as the gateway to the rest of Morocco. However, you first have to get to one of the small Spanish port towns of Algeciras or Tarifa near Gibraltar , which aren't easy to reach if you don't have your own vehicle.

The nearest big cities are Seville and Malaga , both of which also have international airports and direct flights to Tangier. If you want to save time and money, a plane is your best option. But if you want a bit of adventure, then nothing beats boating across the Strait of Gibraltar.

If you're coming from another city in Morocco such as Fez  or Marrakesh , there are easy train connections from both cities. The Tangier train station is about 2.5 miles southeast of the ferry port. The main long-distance bus station, CTM, is right outside the ferry port terminal. The buses in Morocco are comfortable and everyone gets a seat. 

The customs in Morocco are likely different from what you live at home, and part of respecting the local culture involves doing some research before going. It's a Muslim country so plan to dress more conservatively, especially if you're a woman . Covering your hair isn't necessary unless you're entering a mosque, and it's not uncommon to see local women with their hair out on the street. However, women should cover their legs and their upper arms, while men need to wear pants when entering a mosque.

Public displays of affection are frowned upon in general and can actually be unsafe for LGBTQ+ travelers. Save the smooches for when you're in your hotel to avoid any unwanted attention.

• Tangier is infamous among visitors for its persistent touts. Walking through the city and especially in the Medina, you'll be pressured—sometimes relentlessly—to purchase whatever good or service is being sold. To avoid buying things you don't really want, just make clear that you're not interested and move on.
• When you find something you actually do want to purchase in the Medina, be prepared to haggle down the price. If the price still seems too high after haggling, be prepared to walk away and you'll likely be called back with a better deal.
• There are two types of taxis in Tangier: local petit taxis and longer-distance grand taxis. For getting around the city, petit taxis are always less expensive and are easy to spot by their signature light-blue color with a horizontal yellow line.

Things to do see and do in Tangier Morocco

You can easily spend a few days in Tangier without getting bored. There are a lot of cultural, historical and colorful sites to visit. 

Here’s an overview of things to do and places to visit in the city. You can easily tackle all the places in one day. 

1. Cafe Hafa

Cafe Hafa is practically an institution of historical Tangier and is a must-see for anyone passing through.

It has existed since 1921, as it so proudly proclaims at its entrance, and resides on a cliffside with a stunning panorama of the Mediterranean sea.

This outdoor cafe is almost always packed in the afternoons with locals and tourists playing music, cards, and sprawling out across the tables. If you prefer to go while it is quieter, the mornings are the way to go.

Either way, it is always the perfect place to have a traditional sugary sweet Moroccan mint tea and relax as you enjoy one of the best views in the city. Being one of the cheapest teas in town, a full glass costs only 7-10 dirham.

While it is not a restaurant, you can order a steaming bowl of bissara, a Moroccan soup made of fava beans and split peas topped with olive oil and cumin.

For an afternoon snack, my friends and I often buy pastries at bakeries along the way and bring them to eat with our tea.

There are also old men wandering around the cafe selling salted almonds and peanuts for a couple of dirhams a handful.

The cafe is located in the heart of Merchan, a more residential area on a hill just above the Kasbah, at the end of Rue Hafa.

To get there you can take a petit taxi and tell them simply that you would like to go to Cafe Hafa- everyone in town knows it.

You can also walk, depending on where you are coming from. It’s a lovely stroll through a calm neighborhood but be warned that it is mostly uphill.

2. Phoenician tombs

The Phoenician tombs are located between Cafe Hafa and the top entrance to the Old Kasbah .

It’s true that these tomb structures are very often filled with water and litter, but they are still interesting and of great historic value.

The top of the cliff where the tombs are located offers fantastic views over the city and the harbor.

This is a place where the locals go to relax so if you have time, go there at sunset, take some drinks and snacks and sit down for a while.

On a sunny day, you can see Tarifa in Spain.

3. Get lost in the Old Kasbah

Getting lost in the old city is an absolute must when visiting Tangier! What is so interesting about the old medina is the miles and miles of tiny, narrow, endless paths in between the buildings where one can get lost in no time.

Wandering the narrow streets of the medina used to be my favorite pastime when I was living in Tangier and I would absolutely suggest it if you want to get a real feel of the city.

It can be confusing and sometimes overwhelming but it’s part of the adventure.

Walking randomly in any old town is always an enjoyable experience. I walked in the medina of Tangier almost on a daily basis while I was living there. It’s clean and there is practically no harassment from sellers as in other Moroccan cities, like Marrakesh.

Morocco Photography Tips – How to take portraits of the Moroccan people

It’s located right on one side of the Grand Socco and about 3 km from the train station. It’s also the place where most of the hostels and riads are located.

4. Kasbah Museum

When I, Ruby,  first saw the Kasbah Museum, it was not as a curious tourist, but as a choreographer holding rehearsals in the open building behind the museum’s gardens.

It wasn’t until I had lived there almost a year that a took a more traditional walk around this beautiful building- I had been missing out.

While, at first, I knew at least that the gardens are lovely, I can now wholeheartedly recommend the entire place as a wonderful site to pay a visit.

This museum was once known as “Dar el Makhzen,” which translates roughly to “The Sultan’s Palace,” and was the residence of Portuguese governors between 1471 and 1661.

It is now hosting a collection of archaeological and ethnographic artifacts, most of which come from the north of Morocco.

It is located in the Kasbah and can be reached easily by walking from anywhere in the city center or by petit taxi. The entrance fee is 20 dirhams per person and is open from 10am-6pm every day except Tuesdays.

5. Petit Socco

Right in between the hike from the Grand Socco to the port, you will come across a smaller square, lined with a few cafes and several shops and galleries.

The Petit Socco is a popular stop for a coffee at Cafe Tingis , an old beatnik-era institution, or the slightly more modern Cafe Central.

It snakes off into several small, winding streets of the old medina where you can find more hidden shops and markets to explore.

6. American Legation

The American Legation is a museum, cultural center, and research library that holds historical and artistic artifacts and is home to a rich history of diplomatic relations between the United States and Morocco.

It was, in fact, the very first American public property outside of the US and the renovated building has kept up its colonial-era historic feel. It is located in the old medina at 8 Rue d’Amerique and costs 20 dirhams to enter .

Also, fun fact: Ruby’s husband (a Moroccan man she met here in Tangier) proposed to her in the gardens of the American Legation, creating yet another very small piece of multi-cultural history that happened in that location. You can read a tiny bit about their Moroccan wedding here .

7. The Grand Socco & Cinema Rif

The Grand Socco goes by a few different names- Souk Ibarra, if you’re a local, but it is officially called Place du Grand 9 Avril 1947 after a famous speech given by King Mohammed V in support of Moroccan independence on, of course, April 9, 1947.

Whatever you call it, this large open plaza in Tangier will most likely be a central marking point for anyone visiting.

It is home to a large market on one side which is a wonderfully chaotic and sensory place to explore and a towering beautiful mosque just across the roundabout.

Bab Fass is the grand archway that leads into the old medina and up to the Kasbah and on the other side you can have tea and people watch from the cafe at Cinema Rif .

Cinema Rif is an old movie theatre where you can watch both alternative and mainstream films. It also has a cafe that is very popular among the young locals and artists of Tangier.

It’s definitely worth going there to have a coffee or a glass of wine and enjoy the retro- ambiance of this artsy building. 

While the Grand Socco is always full of life and activity, if you venture out at night, you will find large crowds full of families taking an evening walk and loud street vendors selling everything from clothes to cotton candy to snail soup (a specialty in Tangier- I dare you to try it).

This is an easy point to reach by taxi or on foot from anywhere in the city.

8. Markets in Tangier – Grand Socco Market & Berber Farmer Market

Like any other city in Morocco, Tangier also has a few colorful souks  (markets) that are a pleasure for the eye and nose to visit.

 The biggest souk is the indoor Grand Socco Market, located at the Grand Socco (see above), where you can daily buy fresh fruits, vegetables, meat, bread, olives, herbs, etc.

Every Sunday and Thursday, an outdoor farmer market is held on the streets near St. Andrew’s Church (see section below).

The Berbers from nearby villages come to Tangier to sell their products, mainly fresh fruits, and vegetables from their farms.

It’s a colorful and chaotic experience to walk through these streets filled with all the fruits and veggies you can get in Morocco!

On the square opposite St. Andrew’s Church you can also buy Tajines, antiques, clothes and random old trinkets. 

12 common scams in Morocco and how to avoid them

9. St. Andrew’s Church

Visiting an Anglican church in Tangier, Morocco may sound a bit out-of-the-ordinary, but St. Andrew’s is a beautiful, historic sort of sanctuary in the middle of the bustling city.

 It was consecrated in 1905 and the overgrown, flourishing gardens in the churchyard are home to the grave sites of many historical figures.

The chapel was also once painted by the famous French artist Henri Matisse during his stay in the city in 1912.

You can visit St. Andrew’s for free and often the guard will give you a tour of the grounds and chapel.

Being very close to the Grand Socco, it is an easy walk from the old medina and is located, appropriately enough, on Rue d’Angleterre (the English Road).

10.Teatro Cervantes

My dream is that someday this theater is fully renovated, keeping its beautiful old art deco style and that I can create a dance performance for its stage.

In the meantime, however, I’ll have to make do with wistfully visiting the crumbling facade.

The Gran Teatro Cervantes was built in 1913 by the Spanish and was considered at one point one of the most prestigious theaters in North Africa.

Now, however, restoration is on constant hold due to ongoing disputes between city officials and the Spanish government. For this reason, the interior is closed to the public, but the exterior is worth visiting for a look and a photo.

You can always try and ask permission to enter the theater at the Spanish Consulate in Tangier. However, it might take at least one week and some money before you’ll know if you’re allowed to enter the Gran Teatro Cervantes. 

The theater is located on Rue Anoual, easily reached on foot from anywhere in the city center or by petit taxi.

11. Sour Al Maâgazine

Sour Al Maâgazine, also known as “ Faro Square “, has been for a long time the meeting place of friends and especially lovers in Tangier. Some very beautiful romantic songs have been dedicated to this popular avenue of Tangier.

In the summer, this avenue is always full of people enjoying a breathtaking view of the port and the bay of Tangier. People also come to enjoy the constant light breeze coming from the Mediterranean sea.

It is located on Pasteur Avenue and it’s only a 7-minute walk to get to the Grand Socco and the entrance of the Old Kasbah .

12. Gran Cafe de Paris

Gran Cafe de Paris is one of the oldest cafes in Tangier and is part of Tangier’s bohemian history.

The cafe opened in 1927 and was a place of inspiration for many known artists and writers like Jack Kerouac, William Burrough, Paul Bowles and Tennessee Williams – just to name a few –  to gather here, have a coffee, smoke a cigarette and discuss life and literature. 

Part of the movie  The Bourne Ultimatum  was filmed in and around Tangier and this cafe has also a moment of fame in the movie. 

The interior of the cafe has a peculiar atmosphere. Strange how inspiring the old leather of the chairs, the dark paneled walls, the stale smell of cheap tobacco and the rustling sound of newspapers can be.

The waiters are dressed in red jackets and it gives you a feeling of an old private ‘Gentlemen’s Club’ (but women are allowed here as well).

The Best Tangier City Tours

If you prefer a more organized trip to explore Tangier, here are a few fun and interesting city tours you can join.

13. Explore Tangier with the Tanger Ville Hop On Hop Off Bus

Tangier has now official Hop On Hop Off Buses that will bring you to all the different places of interest in one day!

These red double-decker buses run daily from 9 am to 6 pm from April to October and from 9 am to 5 pm from November to March between the historical center of the city to the modern part.

You can hop on and off the bus at the 11 stops as often as you want. Here’s a detailed itinerary of the Tanger Ville Route.

You can board the bus at any of the 11 stops. Tickets can be purchased when you board the bus and cost 130 MAD per person .

These tickets are valid for 48 hours and can also be used for the  Espartel Tour Route Bus   (see Day trips from Tangier below). 

14. Explore Tangier with a local guide

There are also opportunities to explore Tangier with a local guide. During the Tangier City Discovery Tour , a local guide will take you to all the places of interest in and near the city, including the Hercules Caves (see below). Learn more about this tour here .

Things to do around Tangier – The Best Day Trips

If you have time, you should definitely go on a day trip to  Cap Spartel  and the  Caves of Hercules !

Both places can be visited together in one day and I would recommend making the 5km walk from one site to the other along the beautiful beach called ‘Robinson Plage’. 

15. Cap Spartel

Cap Spartel is a cape located 14 km from Tangier. The cape rises to a height of 326 m and there’s a beautiful lighthouse at the end of the cape.

Cap Spartel

What makes this place so special? On a sunny day, you have an amazing view of where the Atlantic Ocean and The Mediterranean Sea meet. 

16. Caves of Hercules

The Caves of Hercules (Les Grottes d’Hercule) are a bit of a symbol for Tangier, with their strange sea entrance, shaped like a map of Africa.

The main caves are part of a massive archaeological cave complex located 14 kilometers west of Tangier.

The caves are part natural and part man-made. The natural part was formed by the waves of the Atlantic Ocean while the man-made part was used by Berber people to cut stone wheels from the walls.

The caves date back to 2500 BC and the name comes from the legend of Hercules as it’s believed he slept in these caves before attempting one of his 12 labors.

A visit to the natural caves to admire the sea entrance shaped like the map of Africa is  free . To visit the man-made caves, you have to pay  5 MAD .

Although this is very cheap, I don’t think it’s really worth it. There isn’t really anything special in the man-made caves, unless you want to take a picture with a monkey or parrot on your shoulder (see  Common Scams in Morocco ).

How to get to the Caves of Hercules and Cap Spartel from Tangier:

It’s very easy to get to the Caves of Hercules and Cap Spartel. Any  Petit Taxi ( the small blue taxis ) in Tangier will take you there.

You might have to bargain for the price as the driver will very likely charge you  100 MAD  but know that a one-way ride to the Caves or the Cap is  50 MAD .

You can also take the blue Hop On Hop Off Bus  that follows the  Espartel Route .  This bus departs from Socco Alto and you can hop on and off the bus at any stop along the route (which include Cap Spartel and the Caves of Hercules).

One ticket costs 140 MAD and you can also use the ticket for the Tangier Ville Route Bus (see City Tours in Tangier ).

You can also join the Tangier City Discovery Tour (see City Tours in Tangier ) which includes a visit to both places.

I recommend you visit the Caves of Hercules first, then walk north along the beach towards Cap Spartel.

It’s only one hour of walking and it’s very enjoyable, especially on a sunny day. Along the way, you’ll come across abandoned holiday houses, caves and cliffs. 

18. Ruins of Cotta

The ruins of Cotta, an ancient Roman settlement founded in the 2nd century, are very close to the caves of Hercules and Cape Spartel .   

The remains of a factory building, a temple, and some baths complex have been unearthed here, and it is believed that the inhabitants of the settlement made a living by producing a type of fish sauce as was the case with the town of Lixus  (see 4. Ruins of Lixus ), one of Morocco’s oldest continuously inhabited sites. 

Unfortunately, you can’t visit these ruins anymore as a rich Arabian sheik (or so the story goes) has bought land around the ruins, thus fencing them and preventing tourists from accessing the area. 

19 . Borj al Kamra

The Al Kamra Tower or the  Borj Al Kamra is one of the oldest historical sites in Asilah . It was built in 1509 when the city was under Portuguese occupation so it’s a perfect example of Portuguese architecture in Morocco.

This tower was built under the orders of the King of Portugal Emmanuel I to serve as a residence for his married daughter to the Portuguese governor of Asilah. He wanted to make a beautiful and huge building to allow his daughter, very attached to his country, to see Portugal from the coast of Morocco.

Construction began in 1505 and it took four years to achieve an architectural marvel that centuries later is among the oldest historical monuments in the city.

Getting to Asilah from Tangier is very easy as the cities are only 50 km from each other. It’s possible to get there by taxi or by train.

Moroccan Railways (ONCF) have a train from Tangier to Asilah every 4 hours. Tickets cost between 19 and 50 Moroccan Dirhams and the journey takes 42 min . It’s also possible to get there with a shared Grand Taxi (the big beige ones) for 45 to 75 Moroccan Dirhams .

You can also go on a guided day-tour from Tangier to Asilah , combined with a visit to Cap Spartel and the Hercules Caves. Learn more about this tour here.

20. Ruins of Lixus

Lixus is the site of an ancient Roman-Berber city located in Larache. Megalithic stones found in the vicinity of Lixus suggest that the site was originally inhabited by sun-worshipping people with knowledge of astronomy and mathematics and then became a Roman city.

Photo source: Wikipedia

The main gate to the ruined city is just off the highway. Only about a quarter of the ancient city has been unearthed from the ground so far.

The ruins that are visible, although badly damaged and a bit overgrown, hint at how big and important this city once was, and it’s totally worth a visit.

There is no entrance fee at the moment but if there is a guardian on duty, he will usually be happy to lead visitors through the site for a small tip.

Larache is located 88 kilometers south of Tangier following highway A1. You can reach this city from Tangier by train , by taxi or by bus .

Where to stay in Tangier

Tangier is a city that is worth taking the time to discover, so you will want to stay there at least a night or two. It is a city rich in traditional architecture. One of the best experiences you can have in Morocco is staying in a Riad , typical rich Moroccan houses with indoor courtyards and fountains, designed with zellij (Moroccan tiles).

Tangier also offers a wide choice of hostels for budget travelers who want to save money to explore during the day and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening.

If neither a Riad or a hostel is the right choice for you, the city also has plenty of beautiful mid-range guesthouses .

Best budget hostel to stay in Tangier

• Our top pick in Tangier: Tanja Lucia Hostel

This hostel is a mix between a hostel and an art gallery so you can expect plenty of beautiful paintings hanging on the walls of the lobbies.

The dorms have fewer beds than in other hostels around Tangier (only four beds per rooms) so the rooms are generally much quieter than in other places. 

The staff of this hostel takes cleanliness very seriously and the whole lodging is cleaned every morning. The sheets on the beds are washed and changed every day.

The hostel also provides shampoo and towels to all their guests. The atmosphere of this place was very relaxing and I stayed there for almost two weeks as I was getting internet work done thanks to their excellent wifi. 

Tanja Lucia also has a very big rooftop terrace that overlooks part of the old city. This was my favorite part of the hostel and the perfect place from which to write on a sunny day. 

If you’re looking for comfort and quality, don’t look anywhere else, Tanja Lucia is The best and cheapest hostel in Tangier.

Best guesthouse to stay in Tangier

If you want the comfort of your own private luxurious room and private bathroom right in the heart of the old Kasbah, I would absolutely recommend a stay at the Dar Nour .

The owners are dear friends of mine and made me feel so welcome in Tangier during my whole stay in their guesthouse.

Having lived themselves as expats in Tangier for years, they know the city very well and can advise you on all the best restaurants in the city and everything you should do while you are there.

They also own the restaurant “Le Salon Bleu” which is located only 5 minutes away.

Each room at the Dar Nour has a completely unique style and atmosphere and includes a private bathroom and shower.

The Dar Nour has a terrace with a view of the beach and a massage room can be used to relax after a long day walking around the old city. The property also has free wifi in every room and in all the common areas.

A traditional breakfast composed of fruits, pancakes, cakes, and cheese is offered every morning. Local specialties are proposed in the property’s dining room and a bar is at your disposal at night.

Best Riads to stay in Tangier

Tangier is a city that is rich in its architecture and fascinating history. One very special type of Moroccan building that combines both architecture and history is the Riads.

They are typical Moroccan buildings that started appearing during the Idrisid dynasty. they usually have indoor courtyards with gardens and fountains. One notable feature of their construction is that they are designed with zellij (Moroccan tiles).

No stay in Morocco would be complete without at least one night in a Riad. Here are some of the best riads in Tangier.

• Riad Tingis

Riad Tingis, located in the center of Tangier, offers a sun terrace and beautiful views of the sea.

Each room at this riad comes equipped with a flat-screen TV. Some rooms include a seating area where you can relax. Some rooms offer a view of the mountains or the garden. Every room comes equipped with a private bathroom. Extras include bathrobes, slippers and toiletries. Riad Tingis also features free WiFi throughout the property.

Anoth Riad definitely worth checking in Tangier is Dar Nakhla Naciria .

Where to eat in Tangier Morocco

1. restaurant bachir.

This is hands down the best restaurant to get as close to home-cooked Moroccan food as you can possibly find in the city. It’s a local, bustling place with plastic-wrapped tables and giant baskets of bread plopped down in front of you as soon as you are seated.

The food is always fresh and delicious (beware that because of this, sometimes they don’t have everything on the menu), and the waiters, while constantly running around to keep up with the demand, are kind and helpful.

It is also ridiculously cheap, with a bowl of bissara going for only 7 dirhams and a chicken tagine for about 20 or 30. It is where I immediately take all of my friends and family who visit me here.

Make sure you say hi to Bachir himself, the owner, who is always hanging around at the cash register. This place is located on Rue Zyriabe, a busy street close to boulevard Mohammed V, lined with many local spots to grab a bite.

2. Dar Naji

Located off of the beaten tourist track in a more residential part of the city, this restaurant serves delicious local specialties in an Arabic lounge-like environment.

Get ready to chill out on old cushions in low lighting and enjoy a slow-cooked meat tagine, couscous on Fridays, or ask for my absolute favorite, r’fissa- a chicken and bread dish that is pure comfort food.

A meal here is also on the cheaper end, costing between 30-60 dirhams per person. You can walk or take a petit taxi to Dar Naji, located at 11 Rue Ajroum.

3. Le Bistro du Petit Socco

If you want to sit, have a good, hearty and flavorful meal, and people watch for an afternoon, this is the place to do it. Located just on the edge of the Petit Socco, this small but charming bistro offers Moroccan food with a bit of French flair.

I have never been disappointed by a dish here and the owners are always friendly and accommodating. I would say it is in the medium price range in terms of places in Tangier, a main dish going for about 60-80 dirhams.

Where to buy alcohol in Tangier

Since Ruby lived in Tangier for such a long time, she also found out where to buy alcohol in Tangier Morocco. 

If you’re on the hunt for a bottle of wine or are in need of some drinks to take to a friend’s house, it may seem near to impossible to find alcohol anywhere in the city. Do not despair.

While, of course, being a Muslim country and due to legal restrictions it may not be as easily accessible as in some cities, there are several shops that do sell alcohol in Tangier.

Always keep in mind, however, that drinking in public in Morocco is prohibited and in general, being drunk outside is never a great idea. In the comfort of wherever you are living or staying, however, you have some options of where to buy and enjoy a bottle:

1. Casa Pepe

39 rue Ibn Rochd .

This little market is just off of the main boulevard Mohammed V and not only sells wine, beer, and spirits, but also a collection of imported items from Europe including pork products, if you’re missing bacon or ham.

2. La Fine Bouche

24 Rue de Fes

Another store selling alcohol, imports and specialty items (it’s where I always buy natural peanut butter- my one guilty pleasure from home).

3. The Market on Rue de Fes .

This place doesn’t have a name that I know of, but it is a hole-in-the-wall market selling drinks of all kinds, both alcoholic and sodas. It is at the top of the street in between Avenue Belgique and Rue Mexique, just to the right of a well-known local pastry shop called Alaska.

Things to do in Marrakech – A Complete Guide to Morocco’s Red City

How to get to Tangier Morocco

1. getting to tangier from the airport.

Tangier has an international airport where many flights, especially from Europe, arrive on a daily basis. 

You can only get from the airport to the city center of Tangier  by taxi. These taxis will be at the exit of the terminal and have fixed prices. A ride from the airport to the city center costs  100 MAD .

To get from Tangier to the airport, you can take a  Petit Taxi  (the blue ones) from anywhere in the city. Some taxi drivers will try to charge you more but know that the fixed price to the airport is  100 MAD  as well. 

2. Getting to Tangier by Ferry

Arriving in Tangier by ferry is a great way to start your journey in Morocco . I particularly enjoyed seeing the land getting closer and closer from the boat and felt so excited when Tangier was in sight.

There are currently two Ferry companies operating in the Strait of Gibraltar bringing people from Tarifa to Tangier and vice versa.

The FRS service runs up to 8 times per day with a sailing duration of around 1 hour while the Inter Shipping service runs up to 6 times per day with a duration of 2 hours.

Taking a ferry across the straight to Spain is also a great way to renew your Moroccan travel visa .

Tangier ferries also connect Morocco with Spain, Italy & France with crossings available to Tarifa, Algeciras, Malaga & Barcelona (in Spain), Genoa & Savona (in Italy) & Sete (in France).

Tangier Ferry crossings are operated by FRS , Inter Shipping , Balearia , Trasmediterranea , Grandi Navi Veloci , Grimaldi Lines & AML   and, depending on the time of year, you’ll find a choice of up to 69 ferries crossings daily.

3.How to get to Tangier from Casablanca

Getting from casablanca to tangier by bus.

Since most people will arrive and start their visit to this superb country in Casablanca, I decided to include practical information on how to transit between the two cities.

The best way to get from Casablanca to Tangier is by bus with the number one bus company in Morocco called CTM .

I’ve traveled around Morocco with different companies and I have to say that CTM although being slightly more expensive than other bus companies, also provides much more comfortable buses.

The trip between the two cities will cost between 120 and 190 Moroccan dirhams and takes around 5 hours .

There is a direct bus leaving from Casablanca and arriving in Tangier. Buses leave every four hours, and they operate every day.

You can catch the bus at the CTM bus station in Casablanca on Rue Léon (see map below). You can reserve your ticket in advance at the bus station or book it online .

However, if you book your ticket online, you still have to go to the CTM office to pay for your luggage on the day of departure so make sure you arrive at least 30 minutes in advance.

In Tangier, you’ll arrive at the main city bus station “Gare Routiere” at Place al Jamia al Arabia (see map below). From there you’ll have to take a taxi (see  Getting around in Tangier ) to reach the city center.

Getting to Tangier from Casablanca by car

If you have your own car or if you are renting one , the road from Casablanca along the coast is definitely a pleasant drive. The driving distance between Casablanca and Tangier is 338.82 km. It should take around 3 hours to reach the northern city.

Driving from Casablanca to Tangier is a great idea if you have the time and if you want the freedom to stop along the coast and take great pictures.

You will also drive through other beautiful cities such as Rabat (the capital of Morocco) and Larrache (where you can visit the Ruins of Lixus ). To drive from Casablanca to Tangier simply follow highway A1 towards the north along the coast.

Driving on highways and on countryside roads in Morocco is usually quite safe, however, if you drive in big cities like Casablanca, Tangier, or Marrakech , it can be quite challenging.

In large cities, it can often feel very chaotic. You will definitely feel a big difference between the cities, the smaller towns and rural areas when it comes to driving.

Another thing worth noting is that in large Moroccan cities, red lights and stop signs are sometimes completely on the far right of the road, so they are super easy to be missed if you don’t pay attention. Sometimes they can also be a bit hidden behind tree branches.

Getting to Tangier from Casablanca by train

Another great option to get to Tangier from Casablanca is to take the train. Traveling around Morocco by train is a great option because they’re cheap and they are a great way to see the incredible Moroccan landscapes.

In Morocco, it’s very easy to buy your train tickets in person directly at the train station.

All the information on prices and timetables can be found on the ONCF website , once you know which train you will take you can head over to the Casablanca train station to buy your ticket.

Make sure to bring cash to buy your ticket as it’s not always possible to pay by debit or credit card. There is a direct train leaving daily from Casablanca and arriving at Tangier. It leaves five times a day.

The journey takes approximately 5 h. Once you are in Tangier, you’ll need to take a taxi to reach the old city (see  Getting around in Tangier  in the section below).

Top things to do in Casablanca – The Complete City Guide

How to get around in Tangier

Taking a taxi or a city bus in tangier.

In Tangier there are two types of taxis (as everywhere else in Morocco), Petits Taxis (small taxis) and Grands Taxis (big taxis).

The Petits Taxis are smaller cars and they are ultramarine with a yellow stripe down the side. They are used to take short rides within the city, charging 50% more at night.

Tangier suffers a constant shortage of taxis, so always remember that you can flag down a taxi that already has passengers but still has spare seats left.

The Grands Taxis are used to take long rides from Tangier to the surrounding towns and cities or from the airport to the city center. The Grand taxis in Tangier are typically beige colored four-door Mercedes from the eighties without air conditioning.

The Grand taxi is commonly a shared taxi in Morocco, the taxi will usually not leave the city before it’s full unless you pay for the entire taxi (all 6 seats) just for yourself.

They can be found at the port when arriving by ferry, at the airport, in bus stations, at the train station and at the bigger hotels in the cities.

If you wish to go around the city and don’t want to take a taxi, your other option is to take the public bus .

The Alsa website has all the information concerning the schedules, prices and bus lines of Tangier. A ticket for a ride on the green city buses costs 3.5 dirhams as of April 2016 and there are plenty of bus stops all around the city.

How to get to the bus stations in Tangier

There are two different bus stations that you can use in Tangier to take buses from and reach the neighboring cities.

One of them is the main Tangier city bus station, “Gare Routiere” at Place al Jamia al Arabia and the other one is the CTM Gare Voyageurs (new private bus station) on the Route to Tetouan, about three miles from the city center of Tangier.

While the first one ( “Gare Routiere” at Place al Jamia al Arabia ) is very central and conveniently located, I would still recommend taking a bus or a taxi to travel the extra miles to reach CTM Gare Voyageurs .

I took buses from both bus station and although the prices were almost the same from both places, the quality and comfort of the buses at CTM Gare Voyageurs were of a much higher standard.

“Gare Routiere” at Place al Jamia al Arabia is located about 2km to the south of the city center. The location is at the following address: Avenue Idriss 1er Tanger Morocco.

This bus station can be pretty busy since it is so central and because the buses are slightly cheaper.

Here you will find a variety of bus companies all offering buses to different parts of the country, it’s also possible to find shared taxis leaving for the neighboring towns such as the shared taxis for Chefchaouen here.

CTM Gare Voyageurs is not so conveniently located but the extra comfort these buses provide makes the extra mile worth it.

The bus station itself is on the Route to Tetouan, about three miles from the city center and directly across Morora railway station. It is possible to get there by taxi or by taking bus 10 on Avenue Pasteur.

How to get to the train station in Tangier

If you want to travel onward to Marrakesh, Fez, Casablanca or any other Moroccan city that has a train service, you will need to make your way to one of the train stations in Tangier.

There are two train stations directly in the city, one is called Tanger Ville and the other one Morora however from our experience, Tanger Ville is much quieter and more efficient and is definitely the one that you’ll want to get to for trains to Casa, Marrakech, Fes, etc.

This railway station has been enlarged to accommodate the new high-speed train and it has lost a bit of its original charm but It’s only about a 7-minute taxi ride from the port making it super easy to be reached from almost anywhere in the city.

You can also avoid taking a taxi by taking bus number 13 to the Tanger Ville station , or the railway company’s Supratours shuttle.

All the information on prices and timetables for the Moroccan trains can be found on the ONCF website , once you know which train you want, you can head over to the train station to buy your ticket.

Make sure to have cash to buy your ticket as it’s not always possible to pay by debit or credit card.

One last tip before I finish this (lengthy) guide. 

I highly recommend getting your hands on the Lonely Planet Moroccan Arabic Phrasebook .

It is packed with all the essential words and phrases you will need on your trip to Morocco and will help you in every situation — from finding a hotel room to ordering tajine or joining the local festivities this book will cover almost every situation you could imagine.

Great article! I am Moroccan, learning from you about Tangier!

Happy to hear Mo :)!

Thank you so much for an excellent and comprehensive blog. It will be very useful. I was wondering if you had any further info on being a solo female traveller? Is it safe in Tangier? You also mention the beaches at the start but dont include anything about swimming – are these beaches popular for swimming/sunbathing in the summer? Thank you!

Thank you Caitlin! Tangier is safe for a solo female traveler, I just don’t recommend wandering alone in the medina after sunset, as for any city in Morocco. You can definitely swim and sunbathe at the beaches, not sure how popular they are in the summer as I’ve only spent the winter months in Morocco. Warm wishes, Cynthia

Siempre es bueno ir en un tour? Se puede viajar sola? Si conoces gente de Marruecos por internet que muchas chicas se conocen con marroquíes, no sería buena idea?

Ruby, Thank you so much for all of this amazing information!! I lived in Tangier for a few years when I was very young (the 1950’s) and have not been back since. We lived in a community just outside town (walkable – I did it once from the American Library downtown and got into mountains of trouble for terrifying my parents) called “California”. I’m hoping you know of it (was all expats then) and could point me in the right direction to find it today, if it still even exists. I have a trip planned to Morocco in May, 2024 and would love to visit a favorite childhood haunt. Thanks, Andy

Great blog and post. I have been mostly following your recommendations and sights for morocco. Been great so far!

Hope to meet you in your journey someday.

Salam, Naseel

Thank you Naseel, really happy to hear! Enjoy your trip and hopefully see you one day 🙂

It’s 60 DH for visiting the caves, it’s not free , and yes the man made cave is still 5 DH

Thank you for this update!

Hello, I enjoyed reading your blog. I will be in Tangier on September 10-13 and was wondering If you will be in town? I would love to treat you to a cup of tea at Cafe Hafa and learn about your trips. Let me know either way , thank you

Hi Andrea, thanks so much for the invitation but I’m currently in Kyrgyzstan and will be in Central Asia until October. Wishing you a great time in Tangier!

Nice post. I’m looking forward to visiting Tangier in a couple of weeks. I’ll definitely check out Cafe Hafa and Cinema Rif.

You will love those places Steven! Have a great time in Tangier!

Hi Niko, am in Tangier right now, love it and loved your article, really informative and so helpful. one question, is there a dance studio around here in the centre where I can take dancing lessons? anything appreciated, I live in Chiang Mai, taking lessons there

I’m sure there are a few dance studios near the center. I’m not 100% sure where they are but I would recommend contacting Ruby at https://www.rubyjosephine.com/ She’s been living in Tangier and teaching dance and leading dance workshops there. All the best.

What an incredible guide and what an honor to be a part of creating it! Thank you for this great collaboration! x

It was an honor to work together on this post with you Ruby! You’re the expert on Tangier!! Looking forward to future collaborations 😉

Tangier Memos is a six-episode podcast series brought to you by the House of Beautiful Business and Cloud District. It uses the history and location of Tangier—the city at a crossroads—as a starting point to discuss a (business) world at a crossroads. Over the course of six episodes, we speak with visionary thinkers, founders, CEOs, scientists, and artists about the antidote to our current polycrisis: a life-centered economy based on an interspecies mindset, regenerative economics, responsible AI, fluid identities, feminism, intimacy, and belonging.

Episode Three: Words and No Words

In this episode, we (finally!) arrive in Tangier and speak with local entrepreneurs and cultural observers about the city’s unique history and constant transformation. With writer Taiye Selasi and others, we discuss the benefits of living between many languages, cultures, and identities, and why this fluidity is a crucial quality of life-centered businesses. We end in silence—and the insight that more of it might be a good idea for any leader, team, or organization.

• APR 23, 2024

Episode Two: Joy and Sorrow

Our second episode takes its name from a poem by Khalil Gibran–On Joy and Sorrow–which reflects on how happiness and grief are often two sides of the same coin. We discuss the co-existence of problems and possibilities in today’s world, exploring to what extent the various crises (“polycrisis”) we face can be reframed as opportunities. A range of experts join us to weigh in on the topic, including philosopher Bayo Akomolafe, digital anthropologist Matt Klein, and privacy and AI ethics scholar Carissa Véliz.

Episode One: Lemon and Purse

Our first episode explores Tangier’s allure throughout the last century and recounts the funny restaurant incident that inspired us to host this year’s festival there.

Serval cat spotted in Tangier Forest, raising concerns over Its endangered status

T he National Agency for Water and Forests is currently tracking the whereabouts of a serval cat, also known as the “leopard cat,” that was spotted near Tangier. 

The feline remains at large, and the agency is investigating the reasons behind its appearance in the area.

“The reason for its appearance in this area is currently unknown,” the agency told Hespress Ar. “It is considered one of the animals on the verge of extinction in Morocco.”

Following the release of a video showing the serval cat, the agency immediately launched a “wide-scale combing operation” in the area to locate the animal and verify the authenticity of the footage.

“This operation included a field sweep of the areas where the animal was reported to have been sighted, as well as neighboring areas, to search for its tracks and gather information from residents in this regard, for analysis by specialists,” the agency said. 

“The agency’s teams are continuing their field combing operations, remaining vigilant and ready to intervene and respond to any sightings of this animal or reports of its presence.”

Addressing the question of how the serval cat reached the forest in Cap Spartel, the agency stated that “The Water and Forests services are still making efforts to determine how it reached the areal,” noting that “The leopard cat is currently only found in zoos, where it lives in captivity.”

The agency further clarified that “the serval cat is only found in Africa, especially south of the Sahara, in small isolated groups.” In Morocco, the serval cat is considered endangered, with its possible presence in Guelmim and Oued Draa regions, extending east to Ait Wabli and north to the Oued Noun/Assaka region on the edge of the Western Atlas Mountains, and in the Middle Atlas from Ifrane to Ouaouizeght. Two recent sightings were documented in 2013 and 2014.” 

The agency said that the protection of these animals from extinction is part of its strategy for 2020-2030.

The agency also pointed out that “The impact of the serval cat on local populations and the environment in general remains limited due to its relatively small size and diet, which is mainly based on hunting small prey, such as rodents.”

The Serval cat does not pose a direct threat to humans; on the contrary, it may be beneficial by contributing to the regulation of rodent populations that could become harmful to agriculture or public health if they proliferate.

“The serval cat belongs to the cat family and is a carnivorous mammal,” the agency explained. “It is characterized by its agile body, long neck, and limbs. It is covered in dense fur that ranges in color from sandy to golden yellow, with black spots that distinguish each individual. The average body weight of a serval cat is between 14 and 18 kilograms for adult males and between 10 and 12.5 kilograms for adult females.”

According to the same source, this animal relies primarily on meat for its diet. “It feeds on small mammals, such as rodents and rabbits, along with reptiles, insects, and sometimes fish.”

Ninety percent of its prey weigh less than 200 grams. This species is classified in Appendix II of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora. 

Any activity related to it is subject to prior authorization from the National Agency for Water and Forests, in accordance with Law No. 29.05 on the protection of wild plant and animal species and the control of trade in them.
