In a nutshell
interesting stopover between Tangier or Asilah and Chefchouen
Regina1965 Says: The first stop at the market was at a herb pharmacy. You were seated in the pharmacy and the pharmacist and his assistant introduced the products to you. The assistant showed us the products and wanted us to smell it. After smelling a few products I started feeling ill and...
Tetouan's Unique Medina-- A MUST SEE
Bonniejeanne Says: Tetouan's medina, or old city, suffers from neglect without a doubt, but it remains a must see site because of its totally unique architecture and history. Tetouan was founded by refugees fleeing the Spanish Inquisition, both Muslims and Jews, at the end of the 15th century....
Regina1965 Says: The second stop on our tour was at the market in Medina - the outdoor market. It was fantastic. We entered Medina at Queen's gate and were guided through the market, the tour-guide at front and a Moroccoan man behind the group to make sure nobody got left behind. We went...
Regina1965 Says: Our second stop in kasbah was at a Moroccoan restaurant, Dar Saada, which was an old summer palace turned into a restaurant which is situated in the very center of Medina. It was lovely, the food was delicious, Harira (tomatoes, spices and meat-based soup) cous-cous with...
freya_heaven Says: We got the Euroferry from Algicras to Ceuta. Which is a Spanish Alcave in Northern Morocco, then we got a coach to Tetouan. There are many ferries to Morocco departing from Algicras, Malaga, Sete, Gibraltar, Tafira and Italian ports. Algicras is the most common route with...
The ferry from Spain to Africa.
Regina1965 Says: Now this was a very beautiful ferry, something we hadn't expected so it came as a nice surprise. This ferry sails from the town of Algeciras in Spain across The Straits of Gibraltar, with a beautiful view of Rock Gibraltar, to Ceuta, which is one of two Spanish towns in...
angiebabe Says: There are local buses from Tangier local bus station that leave when full enough so that could be hourly or 2nd hourly - travelling with locals makes it an interesting ride. I would say sit on the left hand side as you get good views of the Rif mountains between this road...

Carpet Museum: Haggle the Price down
crmeers Says: This was a very special treat in our stop at Tetouan. At first I thought it was just a museum, every carpet they show, you are allowed to buy. Morocco makes the 2nd nicest rugs after the Persian rugs, so these were pretty high quality. There was also a gift shop downstairs...
crmeers Says: It is considered rude if you do not haggle a price that they offer you. You must give them lower prices, and they will respect you for it. I think it is because if you don't haggle you don't spend time with them, you just want to get it over with, instead of taking your time...
earthflyer Says: Since my arrival in Tetouan I was harrassed at the CTM bus station for a place to stay by a Moroccan who was using a bad western langauge that I have not seen before in Morocco, then when I got rid of him and got up the hill into the main street I found I was being followed...
Faux Guide is a thing of the past
Doctor38 Says: Tetouan has a very bad reputation, may be it did deserve it in the past. But I don’t think it should have that reputation any more. The city is very safe and I did not encounter any hustler what so ever despite walking in the old Medina carrying my lonely planet or the rough...

The first and... the worst city in Morocco
Tétouan was the first city I visited in Morocco, driving there from Ceuta, and it was probably hmm... the worst place I had seen in Morocoo. My first impressions from Morocco were very bad to be...
