Spain Morocco Ferry
Beautiful stuff, makes me hunger to see the world much more!!!!
The world is waiting especially now with everyone afraid to travel
I made this trip
In July 2019, my family and I rode this Ferry. It was a wonderful experience, had a lot of fun and the kids were really happy. There are many things to see between Spain and Morocco.
We should add that this is the shortest ship journey connecting 2 continents
But there is only a small body of water between Spain and Morocco. That isn't much to see.
Very informative video about Morocco and Spain transportation each other
Glad you liked it!
Thanks for the video. Awesome!
Good to see this video specially sub title more easier to understand all process and inside condition. thanks to making video. hope in future once travel those route.
You're welcome. It is a great experience to cross 2 continents in an hour
@@swissclimber1 can you help me I am going to Spain please help me
Whoa! Thank you. I've ways wondered how travel across the straight happened. This is a very informative video.
Great. I'm glad you like it and learned how it works.
too bad i did not made the trip, i was in gibraltar last october 2019. thanks for the video, very informative.
Yes that would be a longer trip but it can be done!
Wow! I did not realise that Morocco is that close to Spain! Thank you for the video.
I WANNA GET OUTTA HERE!
what is name of this ship. how I can give booking at this ship
it's too close people sometimes emigrate swimming to spain lol
AdiL oSaFi and they make it as well. About 20 to 30 people each year successfully emigrate by swimming across the Straits of Gibraltar!
@@RB747domme are they chased out?
Great video 👌
Thank you!
Looking to make trip later this year for first time. Driving from the UK.
Great! Let me know if you have any questions. Please be sure to check out my Morocco driving videos. If you have questions, happy to answer
nice travel, I'm enjoyed the Show, its a god view, i hope someday will be there.
Hill0 boss pls how can I come to your place pls I am interested help me quickly pls
I hope so too
Hi, Thats a nice video, Thanks
Glad you liked it!
I was in 2019, very nice trip from Tarifa to Tanger ;)
Great. Was the ferry different than mine or almost the same?
@@swissclimber1 No, the ferry was different.
Best regards ;)
Brother if I m not national of Morocco eather Spain, can I travel in boat from Morocco to Spain?
I took this ferry during Storm Jorge. It was a blast!
Wow! Did people get sick?
@@swissclimber1 no, it was a lot of fun!

Nice
Thanks. I am glad you liked it
When in Gibraltar, can you see Morocco? I’m curious how wide is the strait by just looking out.
You can. It's about 15-20 KM between Morocco and Spain/Gibraltar
when you're entering the ferry do they ask for your tickets or something to show your seats? or you just get inside and find a place
Once they check your tickets you will have to go through security. Then you can board and sit anywhere you please!
Question. I’ve gotten sea sick before while whale watching. How was the ferry? could you feel movement, did boat rock at all? Been on ferry a long time ago and was okay but not sure about this one since never been. Let me know thank you!
Yes it does rock but fortunately it's a short ride and this is the best option the way the ship is designed. Sit in the middle of the ship. I think you should be fine. Take a motion sickness pill before you board!
great thank you! Do you also recommend being outside in the fresh air if that’s an option. I’ve heard some people say to stay in the fresh air or deck if possible. Not sure if that’s best or not. great video by the way very informative thank you
Did you see dolphins during the trip? Along the route from Algeciras to Tangier there were plenty of dolphins on the way.
Hello, thanks for the informative video. Do you recall if the boat is wheelchair accessible? Do they have a lift for wheelchair users? I once used a catamaran in Greece and there was no lift plus on arrival I had to use a gangway that was far too narrow and wobbly and scary to walk down on. In typical Greek fashion, when I reached the bottom, the guy asks the man who was helping me down why didn't we use the car exit which is level.... *sigh* Maybe the Spanish are a bit better?
You absolutely will be able to use a wheelchair. There is an elevator from the car - 1st floor to the passenger 2nd floor
@@swissclimber1 thanks. I wrote to the operators and they wrote back to say it is not wheelchair accessible as it is an old structure (as old as me!) and they are planning to close it and do works to update it but at the moment it is not possible. They also said they had info on their website, but it must be well-hidden because I could not locate it. It is really disappointing when places do not take into consideration the needs of the disabled. How I wish life would be a little bit different and I could still do the exploring I used to enjoy doing when I was young and able!
I distinctly remember there was an elevator. Casablanca is not a wheelchair-friendly place. The Medina is hilly, bumpy.
Excellent video!
Is it reasonable to leave take the ferry in the morning to Morocco and return to Spain in the evening? How often does the ferry depart?
OK - here are why you would do this same day: a) you love ferries and ship journeies b) you want to go to Morocco or cross the Straits to say you've been there and done it c) you are pressed for time. If none of these apply stay at least 1 night. It's an experience to explore the Kasbah and the cacophony and mazes of old Tangier. There are plenty of low cost hotel right near the port. Bottom line stay 1 night at least. Besides there are only 3-4 crossings per direction per day and that was pre-COVID!
@@swissclimber1 Okay that makes sense. I'll be in Spain in September (barring any COVID restrictions of course) so I was just wondering how feasible it would be to add it to my list of things to do. I'm not pressed for time, I just haven't determined all of the things I want to do in Spain yet. Thanks for the information!

Can you clarify please? I see a lot of videos but they don't elaborate for me. From Madrid to Algeciras, you can take a train. How will you get to the Ferry terminal at Algeciras. Then from Algeciras, you take the ferry to tangiers, right?
You can also take the ferry from Tarifa to Tangiers. Is Tarifa another place or is it the same as Algeciras. If not same, then how does one get to Tarifa from Madrid?
I want to take the renfe train from Madrid. Now you tell me the best route to Tangiers, Morroco.
1. From Algeciras to Tarifa, there is a bus that is 2-3 Euro and 45 minutes. There is a train from Madrid to Algeciras 2. From Madrid to Tarifa, it is train and bus. The train stops at Badia-Sur and then you take a bus
I did the Algeciras to Tanger route by train. I walked from the train station to the ferry port but later was told there was also a shuttle bus. That was a lifetime ago so things must have changed in all these years. Tarifa is a different city to Algeciras. If you are coming down from Madrid by train, then Algeciras is a good option but the ferries from Algeciras go to the new port of Tanger, Tanger-Med, which is another 40 km from the city and you need to research buses etc or you will be held hostage to grand taxis and their exorbitant pricing!
Is there a decent size area outside on deck? Thanks for the vid.
Yes. But, it is in the back of the vessel. Not much space but it could be a good place to smoke
Is there any way to get ticket ferry in online please?
Can you do the tarifa to tangier route as a foot passanger without a veichle ?
Yes you can, most people do.
Yes - that's exactly what I did!
If you arrive 20 mins before departure is this enough time?, thanks
Let's be safe, 30 minutes. BUT - remember you have to clear EU emigration and bag security. There could be a line of people to board too. Also, remember parking is a BI&CH there so parking a car is a problem. Give yourself plenty of time
Thanks.for the video. How far is the tarifa terminal to city centre and beach? I want to go to tarifa for 1 day or half day to see the beach and the centre.
Ok. You can easily walk from the terminal to the city center! I parked my car there. Also you drive 10 minutes you will be at very nice beaches
@@swissclimber1 thank you. I m only a foot passenger on the ferry so just want to go for the day to tarrifa and see the beach and view. I assume it is a safe walking distance.? Also can you just buy ferry ticket on the same day or have to book in advance? How long it takes to get out of the ferry and terminal? And last question, as a British citizens and not in EU anymore, how is it getting through passport control? Any issues since we dont queue anymore with EU lanes. Thanks again
@@DiscounedTravels Playa de Los Lances. It’s a beautiful beach Left of Tarifa. Maybe talk to some foreigners and have them give you a lift there for free!
I want to take the ferry from Tangier and spend some hours in Spain and was wondering if there are things to do or see in walking distance from disembarkment in Spain
NO! Not in Tarifa. You could just walk around the port and see the old castle. But if you like beaches it is very good!
@@swissclimber1 then is there a better part I should go to? I know there are a few different ferries that go to different parts of Spain
From Tatifa? How many hours is Tangier?
Zeynal Zeynalov If you take the Tarifa jet or the Algeciras jet it usually takes between 30-60 min
About 1-2 hours
And what you need to get ferry ticket like passport or id ?
You can buy on-line. Most ferries will require you to input your passport #. Of course they will check ID and your ticket before you board
Isn't Tangier only about 14km from Tarifa? But it takes an hour Ferry ride
It's 37 KM...Which explains the hour ride
What was passport control like on the ferry?
Simple = there was none. PP Control before you go on/off the ferry
👍👍👍👍👍👍
Was there a smoking area on the ferry?
Yes ! In the back!
One Day -
One day a bridge will be build here to connects the Europe to Africa.
I doubt it. Europe will have little to gain from this
swissclimber1
Europe will gain as through the bridge agreement Africa - Europe boarders agreement will boost both continents commitment to global peace, human rights and development through economy: example, labor and trade.
Moreover, Europe shall gain through Africa - Europe boarders agreement. That is legal immigrants shall enter Europe to help boost Europe labor capacity economically.
@@sugeroberts5287 Weve got way too much immigrants in Europe already, we need to close the gates
De Tatifa? ¿Cuántas horas es Tánger?
80 EURO round-trip I think....It's 1 hour or so to Tangier
Ferry from Vancouver to Vancouver island is much nicer, takes 1.5 hours, fantastic scenery and is free for senior foot passengers during the week.
Hello. I will be sure to try it. What age constitutes a senior?
What document works you need to take your car?
Great question. I didn't do it so not sure. I'd imagine you would need a Carnet. But because Morocco has many EU tourists coming in, they may not require that because they want to invite tourists. Please check some sources
@@swissclimber1 Thanks brother for your kind response
Has anyone done the journey in reverse, i.e., Tangier to Gibraltar? I'm going soon and would appreciate as much info as possible. I will be travelling solo, no car, so I'll be a foot passenger on ferry.
I'm sure you can do it! Just google it

I m from Pakistan, now m in moroco with company, can I visit Spain for few daysif yes what I need then?
IS IT VISIBLE SPAIN PORTT FROM MOROCO SIDE ?
Yes ! But you have to be on a hill above the water to see Morocco. From the boat you can't see
You could have slowed the editing down a little with extra time on the views, inside and out we did see, and let the captions linger a little longer to improve the experience. Nice video. I would have watched for at least 10 minutes or more longer. It just seemed a little rushed which was a pity.
Thanks for comments. My friend said the same so I learned. Please go back and look 2x. Many people don't have patience to look at longer videos so I try and condense the experience into something digested easily
@@swissclimber1 If you catch this comment swiss there's a channel called luxury travel expert and I've watched a fair few of his videos but a comment from another on one of his vids made me think. The comment was about the speed at which he pans the camera, made me realise that, in part, makes him so watchable. Could it be down to that as much as the editing? Hope you don't mind you don't seem to mind what I hope you see as constructive comments as I like many of your trip choices and approach to them.
Do you need visa or passport to go there
Bapathe Barry you can Book a group and you can stay for 1 day without having a visa
And what if you're going for longer, I have heard that you get entry or visa in the ferry ?
Before taken by Portuguese,
these were (respectively) Morocco’s 4th Largest City & Main Port.
Now, Morocco refuses to help aid Spain in making money off the Port, (and it’s colonisation), so Morocco has focused efforts into it’s other ports these last few years, like Tanger Med
Africa’s and the Mediterranean’s largest port; ranking this week among the world’s most efficient ports, with the Morocco port placing 6 out of 370 (Saudi Arabia, Oman, Qatar, Shanghai, Abu Dhabi, then Morocco).
Just a year ago it ranked 25th on Lloyd’s 100
“In a study assessing the efficiency of the world’s largest ports, the Tangier Med port’s infrastructure outperformed all African and European ports.”
Since Spain cannot run these areas like Morocco, it runs them similar to a
fast food joint.
If we were comparing hotels to ports, Gibraltar under UK would be The Four Seasons, Ceuta & Melilla under Maroc would be The Mandarin
and Poor Cetua and Melila under Spain is McDonalds,..
the World Bank’s Container Port Performances:
“Despite it’s prime location in the Strait of Gibraltar, Algeciras has not managed to see off competition from Valencia as a gateway for Spanish imports, nor Tanger Med, just 20 miles to south.”
It’s original owner collapsed, HMM purchased, and now they are looking for a new investor. This IS McDo’s style
very nice location now i am gonna subsrcibe your channel for good videos and want to know more by you thanks

Hello sir hows the day going? Im a 23 yr old korean who is traveling to morocco next month i guess sir would have gone through numerous repeated questions..sorry for making sir repeat answering the same things if i am asking is repeated..😢
As a korean i know that i dont need visa to Uk and spain and morocco, i am arriving from seoul to casa blanca, and thinking of visiting tarifa and Gibraltar for this trip by taking ship from tangier, i never was to Europe or africa in my life. Since morocco and spain and uk are using different cureency, I am having one Master card with me, can i buy the tickets by master card i have? And also, can I be buying things without issues with the master card i have? And on one of sir's reply i saw rhat from tarifa to Gibraltar it takes 45 mins by car, is there any public transportation bus or train i can use to get to gibraltar from tarifa?
Thanks for reading all these and have a nice day sir!!☺️
You can buy most things with a credit card. Always have Euro for cash payments in Europe. You can change money in Morocco to local currency. Why not take a ferry to Gibraltar from Tangier vs. going to Tarifa. There is nothing very special in Tarifa. If you want to go see Spain you can cross the border in Gibraltar. Hope this helps?

Bangladeshi passport holder Can go by feery?
Yes you can go. But you will need a visa. With COVID there is no VISA being given to Bangladeshi people. I know some people from your country have sneaked into the EU without visa.
