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.
