From Tangier Cruise Port

Tangier Kasbah

Whitewashed lanes and Strait panoramas above the Medina.

Distance

Above the Medina walk from the port

Travel time

Additional 20–30 minutes from Grand Socco

Time needed

1–2 hours including viewpoints

The Kasbah crowns Tangier's old quarter — calmer than the souks, with terrace views over the port and water.

Expect slopes and uneven surfaces.

Pair with Medina time rather than treating either as a drive-by.
