Local driving tips

Driving in Tangier requires knowing a few specifics:

Rif roads: winding, rainy in winter, frequent fog at Bab Taza pass to Chefchaouen. Drive slowly.
Tanger Med port is 40 km from center — don't confuse with "Tangier-City Port" (local cabotage). Specify airport or port at booking.
Downtown: dense traffic, narrow medina streets (forbidden to non-locals). Park at Bab el Bhar or Mendoubia Square.
Spanish border at Ceuta (50 km): do not attempt to enter Spain with your FB Rent car — crossing is not authorized.
Winter (Dec-Feb): rain, wind. Quality AC and wipers essential.
Summer: Tangier stays mild (ocean + Mediterranean), 25-28°C. Better than Marrakech.
For Chefchaouen: leave early to enjoy morning light, return before 6 PM.
