Pick up from Tangier port to enjoy a sightseeing tour to Tetouan. Located about 60 kilometres from Tangier, the city has had a rich and tumultuous past, Tetouan may not be as well known as some of Morocco’s other cities but its beauty, setting and relatively low tourist population make it worthwhile visiting. As with so many other Moroccan vacation spots, Tetouan is set in a beautiful natural location, with mountains arising from the Mediterranean on its south and west, just across from the valley where it is situated. You will visit the old place and the kasbah of Sidi El Mandari Bordi and explore the beauty of the Andalusian architecture and handicrafts. Return back to your cruise in Tangier port.
