Tangier Airport to Asilah

Tangier Airport to Asilah transfer: the easiest way to get there

The best way to get from Tangier Airport to Asilah depends on what you are carrying and who you are travelling with, but for almost everyone arriving with luggage, family or after a long flight, a pre-booked private transfer is the answer. Haqqi Tours' Tangier Airport to Asilah airport transfer is met at arrivals, priced in advance and driven by someone who does this route every week.

This page covers everything travellers ask about the Tangier Airport to Asilah route: how far it is and how long it takes, whether an airport taxi, public transport or a private transfer is the better choice, what Asilah is like, what to see there and where to stay, where you meet your driver at Tangier Airport, which vehicles we use and how the booking works.

Arriving at Tangier Airport (TNG)

Tangier Ibn Battouta Airport (TNG) is about 14 km south-west of the city centre, around 20 to 30 minutes from the medina, 70 km from Tetouan and about 125 km from Chefchaouen by road.

Airports feel bigger after a long flight, and Tangier Airport is no exception. That is why your confirmation carries the exact meeting point for this airport, the driver's name and a phone number: when you walk out of arrivals you know where to look. The driver has been following your flight, so a late landing or a slow bag belt changes nothing about your Tangier Airport to Asilah transfer.

Searches for "TNG to Asilah" or "TNG airport transfer" land here for a reason: TNG is the airport code for Tangier Airport, and this is the private-car service that connects it with Asilah.

Price: fixed for the whole vehicle and agreed on WhatsApp before you travel, tolls and waiting included, nothing to pay the driver on the day.

Taxi or private transfer from Tangier Airport to Asilah?

An airport taxi from Tangier Airport to Asilah means finding the official rank, waiting your turn, and paying whatever the meter shows at the end - more at night, more in traffic, and sometimes more if the driver takes the long way. A private transfer from Haqqi Tours replaces all of that with one agreed price for the whole car, confirmed in writing on WhatsApp before you fly.

For one traveller with a small bag, a taxi or public transport can be a fair choice. For two or more people, a family with children, or anyone with real luggage, a private transfer is normally the cheapest way to get from Tangier Airport to Asilah per person - and by far the easiest. Public transport to Asilah involves changes, tickets and stairs; a private car goes to the hotel door.

There is also the question of trust. Our drivers know the hotels of Asilah, work on a fixed price, and never take a detour or add a "special fare" at the end. Your booking is confirmed by a real person on a WhatsApp desk that works in Arabic and English, and that same desk is reachable throughout your trip.

Public transport from Tangier Airport to Asilah: is there a bus, train or metro?

Public transport from Tangier Airport runs mainly into Tangier itself: a city bus and taxis run from the terminal to the centre, which suits a light bag and a hotel near the Grand Socco; the Al Boraq train from Tangier Ville reaches Rabat in about 1 hour 20 minutes and Casablanca in about 2 hours 10 minutes. A private car is easier for the medina, the Corniche, Cap Spartel, Tangier Med, Tetouan and Chefchaouen. Reaching Asilah from there means a further connection with your luggage, which is where a door-to-door car saves the most time and effort.

So the honest comparison for Asilah is this: public transport is the cheapest option for one person with a cabin bag and time to spare, and a private Tangier Airport to Asilah transfer is the better one for everybody else - two or more travellers, families, older relatives, anyone landing late, anyone with proper luggage. The price is per vehicle, not per person, which is why a family of four often pays less than it would on four bus or train tickets plus the taxi at the end.

About Asilah

Asilah lies about 40 km south-west of Tangier Airport, on the Atlantic coast. Asilah is a small walled seaside town with whitewashed lanes, blue doors and walls painted with murals, set behind sixteenth-century Portuguese ramparts that overlook the Atlantic. It is known for its cultural festival, its small art galleries, its fishing harbour and its long, uncrowded beaches, and it is far quieter than Tangier. Visitors walk along the ramparts at sunset, eat fresh seafood at the harbour and browse craft shops. Many Tangier visitors come for the day, and a few small riad guesthouses and beach hotels offer an overnight stay.

Meeting your driver at Tangier Airport

Every airport is laid out differently, and Tangier Airport is no exception: some airports have a fixed meeting point inside the terminal, some have a specific exit where drivers may wait, and at others the driver stands just beyond customs with a sign. Because of that we do not print one rule here. When we confirm your Tangier Airport to Asilah transfer on WhatsApp, we tell you exactly where your driver will be, with the driver's name and a phone number you can message the moment you land.

Waiting time after landing is included, and if you are delayed at baggage or passport control a quick WhatsApp message keeps everyone informed. On the way back, the driver collects you from the hotel at an agreed time with enough margin for your flight from Tangier Airport.

Our vehicles for the Asilah transfer

For this route we offer Sedan (1–3 passengers), Minivan (1–7 passengers) and Sprinter (8–13 passengers). The vans are Mercedes, Volkswagen, Ford Transit and Peugeot Traveller models, all recent, air-conditioned and cleaned between journeys, with proper luggage space rather than a crowded boot. Choose the vehicle by how many of you are travelling and how much luggage you bring; the desk will tell you if a larger vehicle would be more comfortable.

Child seats and booster seats are available on request - say the ages of the children when you book and we bring the right ones. Extra-large luggage, sports equipment and wheelchairs are all fine; just mention them so the right vehicle is sent.

Every vehicle is checked and cleaned between journeys, and the drivers know the hotels of Asilah and their side streets, so you are delivered to the right gate, not just the main road.

Who books the Asilah transfer

Every one of them books the same way - a WhatsApp message - and gets the same written confirmation.

Many guests add a second leg later in the trip: a day out from Asilah, an onward transfer or the return to Tangier Airport. It is all handled in the chat you already have open.
