How to get there

The house is 5-10 minutes walk from the port in TangiersThere are several ways to get to the port in Tangiers:1.Take a cheap flight to Spain (Malaga is the closest airport). From Malaga take a bus (two hours) or hire a car (one and a half hours) to the Spanish port of Algerciras. Or you could take a flight to Gibraltar which is only a 30 minute bus ride to the port of Algerciras.From Algerciras it is best to get the free bus to Tarifa (about 30 minutes) from where you can get the high speed FRS catamaran boat to the port of Tangiers in the heart of Tangiers city, which takes 35 minutes (one hour in the winter). The boat leaves every 2 hours from Tangier and the last FRS boat of the day returns to Tarifa at around 22.00. The cost is around 37 euros for one way, or 67 euros for a return ticket; Sometimes there are variations in arrival and departure times so it is always wise to check when you are there;2. Another option. Is to take a ferry from Algeciras to the new port of Tanger-Med which is situated in about 30 km from Tangiers. The cost is around 30 euros one-way and about 63 euros for a return trip. The ferry takes one to two hours. Obviously that is not as convenient as you do not arrive in the city of Tangiers and the journey is longer.3. By Air Direct to TangiersTangier-Ibn Batouta Airport (TNG) is located 12 km (7.5 miles) from the city (travel time about 20 minutes). Taxis cost around 100 Dirham (10€) from Tangier and 150 Dh (15€) at night from the airport to Tangiers. At present Royal Air Maroc, British Airways, EasyJet, Ryanair, Iberia, and Air Arabia Maroc fly here. All persons entering or leaving Morocco are required to complete an entry/exit card and non-residents are permitted to remain in Morocco for a total of 90 days. Arriving by aeroplane is the easiest and most hassle-free way of getting to Tangiers.4. By trainONCF opened a new train station, Tanger Ville, in 2003, which is now the end of the line. While its closer to the city centre than Tanger Morora, the former last station), it is still quite a long walk so take a petit taxi for 15dhs or so. The country has an excellent railway system with 1,893km (1,176mi) of track and a fine intercity passenger service. Overnight train services running throughout Europe can connect with Morocco. Most of the time, non- stop trains are fine but those which are not direct sometimes make unscheduled stops en route but you will reach your destination eventually.There is a night-train leaving from Tangier to Marrakesh at 9:05PM costing 350 Dirhams for a couchette. There is a daily Train service to Fez for 155 Dirhams for a first class fare (5 hour journey)5. By car or motorcycleYou can come by car by ferry from Algerciras and Tarifa in Spain or through the Spanish enclave of Ceuta (reached by ferry from Algeciras and other ports in Spain). The ferry crossing varies from 1 hour to 3 hours. The shortest and cheapest will be from Tarifa to/from Tangier taking around 35 minutes. Coming by car or motorcycle can be a daunting process especially if you are new to Morocco. You have to complete a temporary import form for the customs. Sometimes this is done on the ferry (usually in the busy summer months) and at other times on arrival in Tangier. All persons entering Morocco also have to complete an entry/exit card. The Police and the Customs will both search your car - often not together so you need to be patient. 6. By busTangiers has two long distance bus stations. The first, at the CTM offices near the port, is the arrival point of most CTM buses. Some other CTM buses, and those from other companies, arrive at the station on Place Jamia el-Arabia. Place d’ Espagne.
