Get in

Tetouan is a bustling transportation hub in the north of Morocco, easily accessible by bus or grand taxi. While many travelers pass through on their way to Ceuta or Tangier, Tetouan is a destination worth exploring in its own right. If you have the time, I highly recommend spending a part of your day here. There are several options for getting to Tetouan. The bus is a popular and affordable choice, offering a scenic route through the Moroccan countryside. Alternatively, you can opt for a private transfer, which allows for more flexibility and convenience. There are reputable taxi companies in Tangier that offer one-way transfers and day excursions to Tetouan. This is a great opportunity to incorporate a visit to Chefchaouen as well. One such company is Tangier Taxi, located at 2 Route California in Tangier. They provide private transfers, day trips, and excursions to Tetouan. Though slightly more expensive than public taxis, their prices are still reasonable. The drivers speak English and their vehicles are air-conditioned, ensuring a comfortable journey. You can book a private day trip to Tetouan from Tangier for around 89. Visit their website at [Tangier Taxi](http://www.tangiertaxi.com) for more information.

Popular Foods

Tajine is a traditional Moroccan one-pot dish made with meat (usually chicken, lamb, or beef) or fish, vegetables, and aromatic spices, cooked together in a special clay pot called a tajinia. The dish is slow-cooked, allowing the flavors to meld and the meat to become tender. Tajine can be served with couscous or bread, depending on the region.

Couscous is a staple food in Moroccan cuisine, consisting of small, steamed granules of semolina wheat or other grains. It is typically served as a accompaniment to savory dishes, such as tagines, stews, or grilled meats. Couscous is often seasoned with a variety of spices, including cumin, coriander, and turmeric, and garnished with fresh herbs, such as parsley or cilantro.

Mint tea, also known as "atay," is a popular refreshing beverage in Morocco. Made using gunpowder green tea leaves, fresh mint, and sugar, the tea is brewed and then poured ceremoniously back and forth between teacups to aerate it before serving. Mint tea is often enjoyed throughout the day and is a symbol of hospitality and friendship in Moroccan culture.
