11 Awesome Things to Do in Tangier Morocco Near the Cruise Port

11 Awesome Things to Do in Tangier Morocco Near the Cruise Port

Are you taking a day trip to Tangier by cruise ship or ferry? Here are eleven awesome things to do in Tangier, Morocco!

tangier port tours

Whether you call it Tangier or Tanger (some people even call it Tangiers), this lovely port city at the northern tip of Morocco has so much to offer.

The city of Tangier is a great place to get a taste of North Africa, so unsurprisingly it’s an incredibly popular tourist destination. You can reach Tangier Ville port , just steps from the lively city, via cruise ship or a short ferry trip from Tarifa, Spain.

Located on the Strait of Gibraltar where the Mediterranean Sea meets the Atlantic Ocean, the Moroccan city has long been a haven for artists and writers due to its fascinating mix of cultures.

Even if you only have the chance to see Tangier on a day trip or weekend city break, you can absolutely fit in lots of the must-dos in Tangier during your visit.

Find out all about the best things to do in Tangier within walking distance of the ferry and cruise port!

1. Explore the Caves of Hercules

Not far from Tanger Ville port by taxi or bus are the fabled Caves of Hercules , where ancient Greek and Roman mythology said the hero slept before embarking on his quest to steal golden apples from the nearby Hesperides Garden.

The caves are partly natural and partly man-made, formed via erosion as well as from human excavation. Archaeologists believe that the Phoenicians created the keyhole opening that faces the sea, known as the “Map of Africa” due to its shape.

tangier port tours

Berber tribespeople also opened up parts of the cave complex in more modern times, cutting into the rock walls and ceilings to make millstones.

The Hercules Caves have been a popular tourist attraction in Tangier since they opened to the public in the 1920s. In 1952, the Moroccan government declared the caves a National Heritage site.

2. Sip a glass of traditional Moroccan mint tea

Made from green tea, fresh mint leaves, and copious amounts of sugar, mint tea is the national drink of Morocco. You’ll see it everywhere in Tangier, and you need to try it (even if you’re not usually a tea drinker).

tangier port tours

You can order mint tea at practically every restaurant. In fact, if you just order “tea”, this is what you’ll get! If your server pours your tea at the table, don’t be surprised if they hold the teapot up super-high. It’s considered a sign of welcome and respect!

Tip: If you don’t like your tea to be overwhelmingly sugary, just ask for it to be made with less sugar. They won’t be offended! Many waiters actually asked me if I wanted my mint tea less sugary before I had a chance to request it.

3. Visit the American Legation Museum

If you’re visiting Tangier from the United States, you won’t want to miss spending an hour or two at the gorgeous American Legation Museum . It’s the only US National Historic Landmark located in a foreign country!

Ties between the US and Morocco go way back, as Sultan Mohammed ben Abdallah recognized American independence from Great Britain on December 20, 1777. Morocco was the very first country to do this.

tangier port tours

The building that now houses the museum was given by the sultan to the US government as a diplomatic post, and that’s how it was used for the next 140 years. Since 1976, the building has served as a cultural center, museum, and research library.

The American Legation Museum features several stories full of artwork, furnishings, and memorabilia focusing on the history and ties between the two countries. There’s also a fascinating exhibit on the American expat writer and composer Paul Bowles, who lived in Tangier for over 50 years.

4. Relax on the beach

Tangier offers some beautiful beaches, and Tangier Beach (known locally as Plage Municipale) is within walking distance of the cruise and ferry port. A 25-minute stroll along the waterfront will land you at a gorgeous stretch of sand with views across the water to the southern coast of Spain!

tangier port tours

In the summer, Tangier Beach is hopping with activity. But it’s large enough to not feel crowded, even with lots of local families, teens, and tourists enjoying a day on the shore. This area also features lots of restaurants, beach clubs, shops, and nightlife right by the beach.

In the off-season, the beach is far more sedate—the beach clubs and many of the restaurants close for the winter. But Plage Municipale is still a great place to relax in the sand, or even to enjoy a horseback or camel ride by the water!

Tip: Although it’s a good idea to dress conservatively while walking around Tangier, you can absolutely wear a swimsuit on the beach! Consider choosing a style with a bit more coverage, and pack a swim cover-up for beach strolling.

5. Sample the best couscous

If you love Moroccan food, you’re in for a treat in Tangier. Not only will you find excellent tagines (the delicious stew made in a conical-lidded pot) all around the city, but the couscous is also to-die-for.

But the very best couscous I found in Tangier was at the tiny, nondescript Restaurant Ahlen . Located across from the Hotel Mamora Bay at the entrance to the Old Medina of Tangier, the restaurant features a shockingly inexpensive menu of French and Moroccan fare.

tangier port tours

You can choose from couscous with lamb, beef, chicken, or a veggie version. Each features a generous portion of delicately spiced couscous, root veggies, and golden raisins. Your meal also includes an appetizer of fresh crusty bread, cheese, and olives, and finishes with a tasty Moroccan pastry. Bring your appetite!

Tip: In Morocco, families traditionally gather on Fridays to pray together and enjoy a meal of couscous. So if you visit Tangier on a Friday, it’s a great time to savor this favorite Moroccan dish!

6. Snag a bargain at the souks

Tangier is famous for its souks or open-air marketplaces, and you can find just about any Moroccan souvenir your heart desires with just a bit of searching.

The city features two main souks: the Petit Socco and the Grand Socco . I found that the area around Place Petit Socco tends to be super touristy (especially when cruise ships are in port). But wander through the twisty streets and you’ll soon find where the locals shop. With some luck and negotiation skills you can score amazing bargains.

tangier port tours

With offerings at the souks ranging from leather goods to spices, pretty cooking tagines to rugs, you might want to pack an extra suitcase to tote home all of your treasures!

Prices generally aren’t marked, so when you ask the vendor the cost of an item that’s the starting point. A bit of friendly haggling is expected, but don’t start the process if you don’t really want to buy!

Tip: I’ve had excellent luck negotiating in Tangier’s souks by buying multiple items from a single vendor. Speaking the language (either Arabic or French) helps a lot too!

7. Ride a camel

Tangier is located hundreds of miles from the desert, but that doesn’t mean you won’t have plenty of opportunity to ride a camel during your visit!

Your best bet to find a camel-riding experience is by heading out to the beach. Both Plage Municipale near Tanger Ville port and Achakkar Beach (on the Atlantic coast between Cap Spartel and the Caves of Hercules) offer short camel experiences for a very reasonable fee.

tangier port tours

I paid 100 dirhams (about $9 US) for a 10-minute sunset ride at Achakkar Beach. If you’ve never sat atop a camel before, it’s much less scary (and a lot more comfortable) than it might look!

8. Try some fresh-pressed pomegranate juice

Morocco grows a lot of pomegranates, and a tall glass of freshly-pressed pomegranate juice is one of the yummiest treats to enjoy in Tangier. You know it’s fresh when they hand-press it right in front of you!

tangier port tours

My favorite place to enjoy fresh pomegranate juice in Tangier is at a tiny juice stand with café-style seating on Bab Dar Dbagh . The friendly owner, Abdul Rahim, has been welcoming guests from around the world for over a decade with a smile and conversation—he speaks Arabic, English, French, Spanish, and even Japanese!

9. Ride the HOHO bus around the city

Starting its route right at Tanger Ville port, Tangier’s hop-on-hop-off bus (or HOHO for short) is the easiest way to get a taste of the city. Plus, the cost of tickets is far less expensive than HOHO buses in many other cities.

The hop-on-hop-off buses in Tangier offer two routes included in your ticket: a historic tour that shows you the heart of the city in an hour-long loop, and an Espartel tour exploring the outskirts including the Caves of Hercules and the beautiful Cap Spartel.

tangier port tours

Whether you choose to use the HOHO bus simply as a guided tour (you can listen to a fascinating narration in your choice of eight languages) or as a means of getting around Tangier, it’s a great budget alternative to pricey shore excursions in port.

Tip: Buy your HOHO bus tickets online . When I visited, the employees at the ticket kiosk told all of the walkup passengers that there wasn’t room for them on any of the buses departing that morning. But they always set aside space for online ticketholders, so I was able to hop on the first bus of the day!

10. Sample some Moroccan wine

You might not think of Morocco as being a hot spot for wine, especially as the predominantly-Muslim country bans its citizens from drinking alcohol in public. But Morocco makes some excellent wines, and visitors to the country are exempt from the ban.

Although most restaurants in Tangier don’t serve alcohol at all, some do (just check the menu before going in or ask the staff). You may have a rare chance to sample some Moroccan wine!

The country produces about 40 million bottles of wine annually , but only about 5 percent of that is exported.

tangier port tours

Winemaking began here during Phoenician times, but the tradition was lost during the 7th century due to religious bans on alcohol. Colonization by the French brought wineries back, and by the early 1950s Morocco was one of the world’s largest wine exporters.

Once the country gained independence in 1956, the vineyards were again abandoned, but the industry began another resurgence in the ’90s. Today you’ll mainly find local red wines in Morocco—Syrah, Grenache, Carignan, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Merlot are the most popular. But the country also produces whites, rosés, and Vin Gris.

Tip: Want to bring some Moroccan wine home with you? Some larger supermarkets in Tangier, including Carrefour, do sell bottles of wine. But you might have to ask an employee to find it!

11. Watch the sunset at Cap Spartel

Cap Spartel (or Cape Spartel in English) is the most northwestern point in mainland Africa. Not far from the Caves of Hercules, this beautiful spot where the Atlantic meets the Mediterranean is known as one of the best places to watch the sunset in Tangier .

tangier port tours

If you visit, plan to spend at least 30 minutes touring the small museum in the historic 1864 lighthouse, the oldest in Morocco, perched high on a cliff. Climb its spiral staircase to the observation deck to enjoy unmatched views of the rugged coastline and far out to sea.

Watch the sun set over the water right from this lofty viewpoint, or head over to Achakkar Beach just down the coast to enjoy the sunset with your toes in the sand.

Top-rated shore excursions and guided tours in Tangier

Although you can easily see a lot of Tangier’s highlights by walking around from Tanger Ville port (or by taking a taxi or bus), you might want to maximize your time by joining a tour group or hiring a private guide.

Here are some of the top-rated tours of Tangier that start right at or near the port:

  • Tangier City Sightseeing Shore Excursion
  • Tangier Full-Day Grand Private Tour
  • Tangier Half-Day Guided City Tour
  • Tangier: City Highlights Discovery Tour

My quick tips for spending an amazing day in Tangier

  • Brush up on your French! Even if you don’t speak Arabic, you can get around Tangier just fine with basic French. Don’t expect everyone to speak English.
  • Wear comfortable, closed-toe walking shoes for the city’s uneven, hilly streets.
  • Take the local currency (Moroccan dirhams) in smaller bills. Many vendors and restaurants are cash-only.
  • Watch for scams! Most Moroccans are very friendly and welcoming to tourists, but just like in any city there will be some scammers.
  • Leave valuable jewelry at home (or in a safe) to avoid being a target.
  • Avoid drinking the tap water in Tangier (including ice) to prevent tummy troubles.
  • Choose your clothing to respect the local culture. Avoid clothes that are short, low-cut, strappy, or show too much skin.

An Unforgettable Tangier Experience

I recently had the pleasure of experiencing the Tangier Shore Excursion with Tangier Excursions, and it exceeded all my expectations. From start to finish, this excursion was a fantastic journey into Tangier’s culture and history.

The meet and greet at the port was warm and welcoming, instantly putting me at ease. Our local tour guide w as not only knowledgeable but also incredibly friendly, making the experience all the more enjoyable.

Exploring the Ville Nouvelle was like stepping back in time, with traces of Spanish, French, and British influence evident in the architecture. The views from Cap Spartel were simply breathtaking, and the camel ride along the Atlantic shore was a unique and fun experience.

The visit to the Hercules Caves was both educational and mesmerizing, and the guided walking tour through the Kasbah and Medina immersed me in Tangier’s rich heritage.

The entire excursion was well-paced, and I felt like I had truly experienced the essence of Tangier in just one day. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Tangier on a cruise.

Tangier Cruise Port Guide

Tangier is an art and architecture paradise with relics and buildings from the Moorish, Spanish, and French periods in nearly every corner of the city. It is truly a royal city with many of its most important buildings stemming from Sultanic rule, and colonial conquests. The “medina”, or old town, is Tangier’s main draw for visitors looking to experience an authentic taste of local Moroccan culture. 

From tea and spice markets to Moroccan haute cuisine, caves, museums, and preserved fortresses from centuries past, Tangiers has a great deal to offer. A cruise to Tangier is a great way to discover a cultural history unique to Morocco and much of the region. It’s a place where 20th-century artists once flocked to in droves to create some of their most iconic works. This majestic city is known as “The Door of Africa”, and the beating heart connecting two worlds. This is a can’t-miss destination, and one that will show you its bustling, cultural, and cosmopolitan sides all in one stop.

Top sights & attractions for cruises to tangier, tangier medina.

The term “medina” in North African Arabic culture refers to the old town section of a city. Tangier’s medina is magical, and a true treat for travelers looking for an authentic, preserved, and still-lively cultural experience. In the medina, drink fresh mint tea with locals at the Petit Socco square. Then wander the tangle of narrow streets, where many of the whitewashed houses are adorned in brilliant shades of blue. Don’t miss the Tomb of Tangier, or artisan market shopping for unforgettable leather goods, jewelry, and hand-woven rugs to take home with you from any of our cruises to Tangier. 

Cape Spartel/Caves of Hercules

The Caves of Hercules are located just west of Tangiers on the historic Cape Spartel, located just nine miles outside of the city. The Cape Spartel area was made famous by the Phoenicians, and later as the summer residence of the King of Morocco. The caves are steeped in legend, and are believed to be where the Roman God Hercules rested, hence its name. Walk through a guided tour of the natural and man-made cave sections and see the impressively detailed “Map of Africa” sea gate, carved into the rock by the Phoenicians to resemble the African continent.

Tangier Kasbah

As part of your incredible cruise to Tangier, you can’t miss a trip to the famous Kasbah. This walled fortress, made mostly of intricately crafted limestone, has withstood over 400 years of battles and conquests, and now tourism. The royal fortress is like a city in itself, with palatial patios, hand-carved wooden ceilings, and artifacts that date back to the 1700s. End your visit with a guided tour of the Kasbah museum, where you’ll learn about the many Moroccan sultans who once called it home.

Things to do in tangier, explore ville nouvelle.

Classic French café culture abounds in this quaint, lively, little French neighborhood made iconic by some of the world’s most influential artists, writers, and poets of the 20th century. This area truly captures the unique blend of Tangiers’ colonial past, with a modern chic vibe that is sure to delight the senses. Sip café au lait, or a tasty Moroccan mint tea. Shop for hand-made gifts and antiques on Rue Magellan, where William S. Burroughs wrote “Naked Lunch”. Dine at one of the city’s famous French-inspired Moroccan restaurants on the luxurious Boulevard Pasteur before boarding your ship.

Day Trip to Chefchaouen

At first glance of the blue walls of the terracotta-tiled houses that line the entire village of Chefchaouen, a pretty village nestled in the Rif mountains, you’ll feel like you’re in a dream. Chefchaouen is a visually stunning city, known as the “Blue Pearl” for its colorful facades, re-painted each year to keep their shine. Take a day trip tour here to learn about its history in both ancient culture and modern Moroccan history. The entire city was painted blue by its Jewish population in the 1930s to represent the sky, and therefore Heaven, and it has become a local icon among visitors to Morocco ever since.

Picnic at Parc Perdicaris

There’s nothing that accentuates one of these luxury cruises to Tangier quite like a peaceful picnic atop Parc Perdicaris. Pick up a baguette and small mezze platter in town to take with you before you go. Then, take an easy hike up to the top of the hill to get the best views of the sea and city, and best seats in the park for your picnic. There are also biking trails, plenty of shade from the trees, and a refreshing Atlantic breeze from the adjacent ocean. Par Perdicaris is just a 10-minute drive from the center of the city, and you can take a tour there, or hire a private car or taxi service to take you.

Top Food & Drink Spots Near the Tangier Cruise Port

If dining and drinks are on the agenda (and they should be here) then the Port of Tangier does not disappoint. This city’s mix of culture and trade routes adds to a near limitless array of local flavors and dishes. Moroccan food in Tangier is best known for dishes made with local North African spices, blended with French and Spanish culinary style. These dishes often include couscous, lamb, fresh fish, cumin, nutmeg, turmeric, and mint. Make sure to try tajine, a Berber dish slow-cooked and served in a clay pot.

Culture & History of Tangier, Morocco

To understand the many layers of culture and history in Tangier, it’s important to appreciate its strategic location. This city is the southernmost gateway to the Mediterranean, and with that positioning has come thousands of years of trade, conquest, and cultural development. Originally founded as a Phoenician colony between 8,000-9,000 BCE, Tangier has seen epochs of Roman, Arab, Portuguese, Spanish, French, and English rule, and independence. Its contemporary culture is Arab North African with many southern Europeans traits blended in seamlessly. 

Tangier Port Facilities & Location

Tangier cruises are convenient and popular due to the proximity of the port to the city’s attractions. Tangier’s port faces the narrow Straits of Gibraltar, the gateway to the Mediterranean, with Spain just across the water. The port lies just a few short blocks away from the ancient Medina (old city). Within minutes of disembarking your cruise to Tangier, you’ll be right in the heart of the bustling, historic streets and markets. There’s no shortage of things to see and eat, do, eat, and see within easy reach of your ship.

Transportation in Tangier

Though public transportation is abundant in the form of buses, traveling by foot, private shuttle, or licensed taxi is best. Tangier can get crowded with visitors, particularly in the Medina and other central areas. This means walking is often the quickest way to get around. Private shuttles and licensed taxis are air-conditioned for comfort, and many services come with English-speaking drivers, too. Always negotiate a price before setting off.

Shopping in Tangier, Morocco

For the best shopping in Tangier, you don’t have to go far. Head to the Fondouk Chejra weavers’ market for authentic hand-made woven rugs, robes, scarves, and clothes. Browse exquisite antiques at the Galerie Tindouf, and while there, head for some more local fare at the Tindouf Bazar next door. You will also find lots of great authentic souvenirs at small shops spread all over the Medina during your cruise to Tangier.

Local Currency & Tipping Options

The local currency in Morocco is the dirham. There are ATMs in the city, but many are unavailable after banks close for the day. You can withdraw cash at the ATM located adjacent to the cruise terminal, or exchange currency once inside the old city walls. Cards are accepted in many places, as are Euros, but many smaller vendors prefer cash, so bring plenty with you on these cruises to Tangier. Tipping is common, but usually done by rounding up in small amounts, or leaving 5-10% for good service at a restaurant or following a tour.

Monthly Climate Averages for Tanger Morocco

Sightseeing:

Tanger is a Cruise Port in it's own right, rather than a gateway to other cities.

Tangier, known as the "gateway to Africa", is one of the most vibrant, mysterious and intriguing cities in Morocco. Located 60 kilometers from Gibraltar and just 14 kilometers from Spain, it's not entirely Moroccan, European or African; it's a dynamic mix of all three... It has a strong international flavor along with a reputation for inspiring shady deals and attracting foreign misfits. Over the years,Tangier has been home to various international playboys, along with many artists, writers and all kinds of adventurers. Truman Capote described Tangier as the "Ragamuffin city".

Tanger's medina (near the harbor) is fascinating, and is still in very good condition. The narrow winding streets are lined with houses of all kinds of styles, indicating that people from with various financial backgrounds both lived and worked here. In Tangier, the Medina itself is quite big. There are many commercial centers too, mostly aimed at tourists. It can be quite difficult to find areas where real handicraft is performed.

The Kasbah : it was built on the highest point in Tangier and has excellent views out over the Straits of Gibraltar and neighboring Spain. There aren't many places where you can see two continents at once.

The Grand Socco really is the heart of Tangier and a good place to start a tour since it is also the point where the modern city's streets are forced to continue into the narrow streets of the old city.

Dar el Makhzen : A collection of art from all over Morocco is housed in the imposing Dar el Makhzen, the former Sultan's palace dating from the 17th century, which dominates the Tangier kasbah.

The Tangier American Legation Museum (TALM), a thriving cultural center, museum, conference center and library in the heart of the old medina in Tangier, is housed in the only historic landmark of the United States located abroad.

Tours Excursions Transportation:

No commercial excursion companies operate near de port.

Walking to the Medina and exploring the city from there is your best bet, it is difficult to get lost as you will see the harbor almost from any point.

Note: the streets and alleys are pretty steep and paved with cobble stones.

A good way yo get to know the city is to take the hop on hop off bus . Take the shuttle bus from your ship to the town drop off. Walk back towards the ship, cross the multi-lane road to find a roadside red kiosk where the HOHO tickets are on sale.

A suggestion for visiting the Kasbah and Medina without a strenuous long uphill climb: take the blue route HOHO bus to Stop 2 (Plaza 9 April) and then stroll downhill through the old town and Medina.  There is an unmissable large covered market just off Plaza 9 April.

Taxis are a good and not expensive way to take a tour, about 15 Euro an hour.

It pays to compare your cruise line tours here .

Nearby Places:

The Caves of Hercules , located just 14kms west of Tangier, are a place of stunning natural beauty and great archaeological significance.

Apparently, this is where the mythical figure, Hercules, used to rest after finishing his 12 labors. The mouths of the caves open up onto the Atlantic and are flooded at high tide. When the tide comes in, water gushes up through these massive holes in the ground and hillside. It's very impressive.

Shopping and Food

The Kasbah, on the highest point of the medina, is a hive of activities with local craftsmen practicing the traditional arts of carpet weaving, leather working and pottery making and you can buy the products over a glass of mint tea.

For a drink or lunch go to the Hotel Continental: a vast, white 19th century building, overlooking the harbor.

Traditional foods in Tangier consist of couscous, Tajines, Pastilla, Brouchettes and Harira amongst others. You'll find these dishes in most restaurants.

Couscous - Morocco is synonymous with couscous and Tangier is no exception. It's considered a specialty. If you are in a restaurant you will have to order it a bit in advance, in order for it to be prepared properly. It comes with a variety of vegetable and meat toppings, normally chicken, mutton and roast vegetables.

Mint tea: Moroccan tea is popular with locals, it contains tea leaves, lots of sugar and stuffed with local mint, really tasty and surprisingly refreshing.

Moroccan Dirham (MAD). This currency is divided into 100 centimes.

It is forbidden to export Moroccan money and it is not possible to exchange it; therefore you should try and spend all your local money before you leave.

There are no restrictions on the amounts of foreign currencies imported. There are banknotes of 10, 50, 100 and 200 DH. In the cities banks have cash points and they are open between 8 and 11,30 a.m. and between 2 and 4,30 p.m. In the summer they sometimes don't close at lunchtime.

Most hotels, restaurants and antique shops accept credit cards.

Currency Converter

Communication:

The languages are Arabic and Berber, however most people also speak French.

Cafes which offer free WiFi for customers are open late and are numerous and charge very reasonable fees. The keyboards look international but are not! You will have to ask for assistance.

emergency phone numbers: Police: 19; Fire Service: 15.

Opening Hours and Holidays:

The biggest event on the Moroccan calendar is the month of Ramadan, during which Muslims fast during the daytime and feast at night. Most restaurants are closed for lunch (with the exception of those catering specifically to tourists) and things generally slow down. Traveling during this time is entirely possible, and the restrictions don't apply to non-Muslims, but it's respectful to refrain from eating, drinking or smoking in public during the fast.
