BACK IN TANGIER

🚄 DAY 10

Casablanca → Tangier

Casablanca
↓ 🚄 Al Boraq
Tangier

Today begins the final stage of the journey.

No full schedule now. Travel calmly from Casablanca back to Tangier, check in and spend the final afternoon and evening mainly together.

01

A quiet morning in Casablanca

  • Enjoy a leisurely breakfast
  • Check your suitcases
  • Check out
  • Go to the station
  • Take Al Boraq towards Tangier

This morning does not need to revolve around photography.

Simply wind down and enjoy the last stretch through Morocco.

02

Arrival in Tangier

  • Go to your accommodation
  • Check in
  • Put down your luggage
  • Take a breather
  • Then head outside at an easy pace

No strict programme.

Tangier now feels familiar. Use this afternoon to revisit favourite places.

returning + recognising + enjoying it once more

03

Your last afternoon in Tangier

I would deliberately keep this afternoon light.

Options:

  • a relaxed walk along the Marina
  • one more visit to Grand Socco
  • tea or coffee
  • a little shopping
  • a walk along the promenade
  • sit somewhere quiet
  • pick up the last souvenirs

No must-see list.

Simply choose whatever you feel like at the time.

04

Photography

This afternoon can be especially personal.

Do not look for new locations.

Look for:

  • familiar streets
  • people on the move
  • sea
  • details
  • personal travel moments
  • reflections
  • silhouettes
  • the last evening light

My advice

This afternoon, focus on photographs that feel like:

“this was our journey”

Not just: “this is Tangier”.

Lens: 35–70 mm

05

Evening

  • A relaxed dinner
  • Perhaps one last evening walk
  • Finish packing your suitcases
  • Check passports and travel documents
  • Get your camera and equipment ready
  • Return to your accommodation in good time

Overnight: Tangier

The final photography rule of the journey

On Day 10, I would follow one final personal rule:

Take one photograph that sums up the entire journey for you.

It does not have to be your best photograph technically.

For example:

  • a personal moment along the way
  • shadows on the promenade
  • a table with tea
  • someone looking out to sea
  • suitcases at the station
  • the last evening light in Tangier

Use that photograph to close your travel journal or photo album.
