Tanger-Med

Tanger-Med is a modern port on the Strait of Gibraltar with several container terminals and extensive storage facilities. The complex was designed to handle large volumes of cargo and vehicles passing through daily.

The port was established in 2002 as part of Morocco's strategy to create a major trade gateway in North Africa. Since then it has grown into one of the continent's largest maritime facilities.

The port functions as a meeting point between African and European trade routes, connecting markets across Asia, Europe, and North America through 180 ports.

The port is accessible through multiple entry points, but visitors should respect working areas where heavy machinery and vehicles are constantly in motion. It's best to observe the operations from designated viewpoints for a clear and safe overview.

The port connects three continents through its location on the Strait of Gibraltar, where European and African trade routes meet. This geographic position makes it a natural crossroads for international shipping.
