Tangier has been rebuilt faster than any other Moroccan city this century. The commercial port moved out to Tanger Med, the corniche was redone, and a high-speed line now reaches Casablanca in a little over two hours. The airport carries the name of the city's most famous son, Ibn Battuta, whose tomb sits in the medina and who remains the most travelled man of the pre-modern world.
The logistics deserve attention. Tanger Med is 40 km east of the city, so a ferry arrival is not a walk into the medina. The airport is 15 km south-west. The old town is small by Moroccan standards but still closed to vehicles, and the Rif roads south towards Chefchaouen are proper mountain driving rather than the highway most people expect.
Every booking is private, so the shape of the day is yours: the cape and the caves before lunch, the kasbah after, and then either a crossing to Spain or the road south. The rate is fixed before you travel and covers fuel, tolls and the driver.
