Tanger Med Foundation supported the Moroccan champion Hassan Baraka in his crossing of the Strait of Gibraltar led by two Moroccan athletes: Samia Benchekroun and Fakhita Drissi organized in collaboration with ACNEG (Associacion del Cruce a Nado del Estrecho de Gibratar), the crossing was carried out from Tarifa in Spain with an arrival at the beach of Dalia, near Tanger Med Port.

Upon arrival, the swimmers were greeted by the children of the Dalia Sailing School and by the beachgoers.

It is worth mentioning that the crossing of the Strait of Gibraltar by swimming is one of the 7 most difficult crossings in the world (it counts for the Ocean Sevens challenge, equivalent to the Seven Summits in mountaineering).

Tanger Med Foundation continues to promote water sports and their importance to young people, while reflecting a number of common values, including courage, well-being, and social cohesion.
