Tangier Airport to Tangier Medina transfer: the easiest way to get there
The best way to get from Tangier Airport to Tangier Medina 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 Tangier Medina 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 Tangier Medina 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 Tangier Medina in Tangier is like, where to stay and eat, when to travel, 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 Tangier Medina transfer.
Searches for "TNG to Tangier Medina" 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 Tangier Medina.

Taxi or private transfer from Tangier Airport to Tangier Medina?
Travellers searching for "Tangier Airport to Tangier Medina taxi cost" usually find a range rather than a number, because taxi fares depend on the meter, the hour and the route. Our private transfer gives you a single fixed price for the whole vehicle, agreed on WhatsApp in advance, so the cost of getting from Tangier Airport to Tangier Medina is known before you land.
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 Tangier Medina per person - and by far the easiest. Public transport to Tangier Medina 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 Tangier Medina, 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 Tangier Medina: is there a bus, train or metro?
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.
Many of our guests have tried the public route into Tangier Medina once and booked the car ever after. The difference is not only speed but effort: no ticket machines in a foreign language, no stairs with suitcases, no working out the last mile to the hotel.

Artists, writers and travellers have long been drawn to Tangier, and many of the old houses now serve as boutique guesthouses. Cars stop at the gates, so arrival ends with a short walk, often with a porter for the bags.
Staying near Tangier Medina puts you within easy reach of The medina and Kasbah, Marina and Corniche, Malabata and Marshan - each a different side of Tangier, and each a short drive once your bags are at the hotel.
