Getting There
-
Walking
If you are in the center of Asilah, head towards the coast and follow the main road (Avenue Hassan II) to the west. Continue straight for about 10-15 minutes until you reach the beach. Once at the beach, turn left and walk along the promenade. You will see signs pointing toward the Kasbah area. Follow these signs, and after a short walk, you will arrive at the entrance of Borj Alkasbah.
-
Bicycle
Rent a bicycle from one of the local shops near the center of Asilah. From the rental shop, head towards Avenue Hassan II and ride west for about 10-15 minutes. When you reach the beach, make a left turn and cycle along the promenade. Keep an eye out for signs leading to the Kasbah area. After a short ride, you will find Borj Alkasbah at the entrance.
-
Public Transport
In Asilah, you can catch a local bus heading towards Tangier, but for direct access to Borj Alkasbah, it's more convenient to walk or cycle. However, if you're in the area, you can take the bus to the nearest stop to the beach and then walk towards the Kasbah area, following the signs. This method is not recommended due to the infrequent bus service.
-
Taxi
If you prefer a quicker route, you can take a local taxi. Simply ask the driver to take you to 'Kasbah' in Asilah. The taxi will drop you off near the entrance of Borj Alkasbah. Make sure to agree on a fare before you get in the taxi, as taxis in Morocco typically do not have meters.
