    Getting There

    Walking

    From Malabata, head towards the main road, Avenue Mohamed VI, and walk west. Continue straight until you see the signs for 'Ancien Medina'. You’ll be heading towards the Medina area, which is about a 30-minute walk. Along the way, you can enjoy the local shops and cafes. Once you reach the Medina, follow the signs to the Kasbah, which will lead you up several winding streets.

    Public Transport (Bus)

    Alternatively, you can take a local bus from Malabata to the Medina. Look for the bus stops along Avenue Mohamed VI. The bus number 5 or 7 typically goes towards the Medina. The fare is usually around 6 MAD. Once you reach the Medina bus stop, get off and follow the signs to the Kasbah. It's a short 10-minute walk from the bus stop to the museum.

    Taxi (Petite Taxi)

    You can also opt for a petite taxi, which are small, affordable taxis in Tangier. Hail a taxi from Malabata and tell the driver to take you to 'Pl. de la Kasbah'. The ride should cost around 20-30 MAD and takes approximately 10 minutes, depending on traffic. This is a convenient option if you prefer not to walk.
