By Air

The Ibn Batouta International Airport has been being expanded and modernized to accommodate more flights.The biggest airline at the airport is Royal Air Maroc.In addition, a TGV high-speed train system is being built.It will take a few years to complete, and will become the fastest train system in North Africa.

By Train

A railroad line connects the city with Rabat, Casablanca and Marrakech in the south and Fes and Oujda in the east.The service is operated by ONCF. The Rabat-Tanger expressway connects Tangier to Fes via Rabat (250 km), Settat via Casablanca (330 km) and Tanger-Med port.The Ibn Batouta International Airport (formerly known as Tangier-Boukhalef) is located 15 km south-west of the city centre.ONCF opened a new train station, Tanger Ville, in 2003, which is now the end of the line. While it's closer to the city center than Tanger Morora, the original end-of-the-line, it's still quite a long walk so take a petit taxi for 15dhs or so.

By Bus

Tangier has two long distance bus stations.The first, at the CTM offices near the port, is the arrival point of most CTM buses. Some other CTM buses, and those from other companies, arrive at the station on Place Jamia el-Arabia.

Church of Saint Andrew

Is an Anglican church in Tangier, Morocco, consecrated in 1905.In 1880, Hassan I of Morocco donated land to the British community in order to build a small Anglican church in Tangier.After a church was built, it was found that it was not sufficient for the increasing number of worshippers, and a new one was built in 1894 which became the Church of Saint Andrew.It was consecrated in 1905.The interior is designed as a fusion of numerous styles, notably Moorish.The belltower, shaped like a minaret, overlooks the adjacent cemetery.Among the people buried in the church there is Emily Keene (1849–1944), the woman who allegedly introduced the cholera vaccine to Morocco. She was a British humanitarian who married the Shareef of Wazan, a local religious leader. She died in Tangier and there is a plaque in the western side of the church to commemorate her. Others include Sir Harry McLean (1848–1920), Paul Lund (1915–1966) and Walter Harris, (1866–1933), a British writer.
