Private Transfers & Tours in Tangier

Tangier is Morocco's northernmost city and its window onto Europe — only 14 km across the Strait of Gibraltar from Spain. Its strategic position has shaped a remarkable cosmopolitan history: Phoenician, Roman, Arab, Portuguese, Spanish and English in turn, then an 'International Zone' jointly administered by nine powers from 1923 to 1956 that made the city a famous haven for artists, spies and writers — Paul Bowles, Tennessee Williams, William Burroughs, the Rolling Stones, Jack Kerouac and Henri Matisse all lived or wrote here.

Today Tangier has been completely renovated: a brand-new marina, the spotless Boulevard Mohammed VI corniche, the high-speed Al Boraq train (Tangier to Casablanca in 2h 10m) and the giant Tanger-Med port (Africa's largest) have transformed the city. Yet the old medina, the Kasbah, the 17th-century Dar el Makhzen palace (now a museum), and the Café Hafa — Bowles' favourite, perched above the strait — preserve the romantic, slightly faded atmosphere that drew the international set.

Must-see day trips from Tangier include Cap Spartel (where the Atlantic meets the Mediterranean), the Caves of Hercules just below it, Asilah's whitewashed art town 45 km south, and of course Chefchaouen 2h 30m away. Tangier Ibn Battouta Airport (TNG) handles direct flights from Paris, Madrid, Brussels, Amsterdam, London and several Spanish cities, while ferries from Tarifa (1 hour) and Algeciras (1h 30m) connect Tangier daily to mainland Spain.
