Practical tips for Tangier Airport to city

Confirm the taxi fare

Regulated fares are about 100 MAD by day and up to 150 MAD at night to the center. Some drivers ask for far more, so agree the price before you get in.

Know your station

Al Boraq leaves from Tangier Ville station in the city, not from the Tanger Med ferry port. A taxi to Tanger Med is a much longer and costlier ride.

Check the bus timetable

The airport bus is hourly, but departure times vary slightly, so check the current schedule rather than relying on a fixed minute.

Check ride-hailing

Uber launched in Tangier in July 2026. Supply varies, so open the app to check and keep an official taxi as a fallback.
