Where is the Tangier cruise port?

Ships dock at Tangier City Port (Port Tanger Ville), the converted city harbour at the foot of the Medina, which also handles fast ferries and yachts. It has three cruise berths of 360 m, 300 m and 290 m and a cruise terminal. The port authority gives the Medina as about 250 m and the city centre about 600 m away, so most visitors walk in; petit taxis wait outside the port.

About Tangier

Tangier sits on the northern tip of Morocco, facing Spain across the Strait of Gibraltar. Cruise ships dock at Tangier City Port, a converted harbour right below the old Medina: the port authority puts the Medina about 250 m and the city centre about 600 m away.

From the gate, lanes climb to the Grand Socco, the souks and the Kasbah, whose former palace houses the Kasbah Museum. The modern city spreads along Boulevard Pasteur, and west of town the Caves of Hercules and Cap Spartel mark where the Mediterranean meets the Atlantic.
