Where you dock

Where does an Aurora Expeditions ship dock in Tangier?

Cruise ships calling at Tangier dock at Tangier City Port (Tanger Ville), in the city below the medina and the Kasbah, or at Tanger Med, about 40 km east. Your Aurora Expeditions itinerary names the port for your call; the public schedules do not, so check it before you plan.

Tour Guide Tangier meets ships at every terminal, with official port access. Groups of 6 or more, children included: your guide waits for you inside the terminal, holding your name. Smaller groups: just outside the port's main exit, by the big mosque at Tanger Ville. We send you the exact spot before your day.

From Tanger Med, Ksar Sghir or the Tetouan cruise terminal, the transfer has an extra fee, given in your quote. From Tanger Ville the old town is 10 to 20 minutes on foot.
