Cheaper bus companies operate from the main bus station ( gare routière ; Pl Jamaa el-
Arabia) , about 2km to the south of the city centre by the Syrian mosque – the distinctly un-
Moroccan-looking minarets are a useful nearby landmark. There are regular departures for all
the destinations mentioned above, plus services to Al-Hoceima (Dh97, 10 hours) and Fnideq
(Dh19, 1½ hours) – a small town 3km from the Ceuta border. The main bus station can be
busy, but pretty hassle-free, thanks to the police office in the centre. It has a left-luggage
facility (per item per 24hr Dh5-7; 5am-1am). A metered petit taxi to/from the town centre is
around Dh8.

Taxi
The grand-taxi rank for places outside Tangier is across from the main bus station. The most
common destinations are Tetouan (Dh30, one hour), Assilah (Dh20, 30 minutes) and Larache
(Dh30, 1½ hours). For Ceuta, travel to Fnideq (Dh40, one hour), 3km from the border. There
are no direct taxis to the border (Bab Sebta). Grands taxis to Tetouan also frequently wait for
arriving trains at Tanger Ville train station. For destinations on the outskirts of Tangier, such as
the Caves of Hercules or Cap Malabata, use the grand-taxi rank on the Grand Socco.
Train
Tanger Ville, the recently renovated train station, is hassle-free. Five trains depart daily for Sidi
Kacem, Meknès, Fez, Rabat (Ville), Casablanca (Casa Voyageurs) and Marrakesh, including a
night service with couchettes, and the famed Marrakesh Express, which should be reserved a
day in advance (Dh310/205 for 1st/2nd class, Dh350 with couchette). From Sidi Kacem you
can get connections south to Marrakesh or east to Oujda. Schedules are best checked at
