Our day trip to Tangier was excellent! Coca-Cola was a fantastic guide. The city center is full of narrow walkways and we would have spent so much time looking for directions on our own. Our knowledgeable and friendly guide gave us plenty of historical information. US dollars are welcome, bring some for tips for the people that help out along the way (camel ride, etc). Lunch was cash only and they requested euros. The rug presentation was nice but I was not in the market for one. Don’t feel bad when you do not want to buy one. The shop owners are happy to show their art and hopefully you will tell others about the rugs or buy one next time. The tour operator will provide information/tickets for the ferry from Tarifa to Tangier the afternoon before your journey. We chose the 8:00 arrival, so needed to be at the dock at 7:15. The parking lot was not full at that time. The ferry ride was smooth for us with no need to worry about motion sickness. Leaving early left us with plenty of time to take it slow in town. There is no need for women to cover their hair, but I will say that most people were wearing thin pants or a long skirt instead of shorts. We loved our day and Coca Cola made sure we felt welcome. Thanks for a great introduction to your city!
