By Sea:
There are several ferry connections to Morocco from Spain, Gibraltar, France and Italy.
Algeciras (Spain) is the main port and serves Ceuta and Tangier. It is an enjoyable scenic way to arrive in the country. It takes two and half hour to arrive to Tangier from Algeciras and up to 20 crossings daily in the summer and 12 crossings in the winter.
The ferry from Sete (France) is not a cheap option to get to Morocco but it saves long drive down to Spain. The trip takes about 36 hours one to twice weekly. Booking well in advance is essential.
From Genova (Italy), the trip last for 48 hours and the ferries go about every six days.
Note that for the month of August the ferries from/to Tangier, Ceuta and Melilla are booked solid when virtually the entire populations of Spain and France have their summer holidays at exactly the same time. Ferries are packed, advance booking is essential.




By Land:
The only border posts on land are the ones at the Spanish enclaves of Ceuta and Melilla. The frontier with Algeria has been closed for years. The border with Mauritania is open but it is complicated to get cross.
