Gateway to AfricaTangier is where the Atlantic meets the Mediterranean and where Europe meets Africa — the gateway city for travellers arriving by ferry from Spain. Depart from Tangier into the blue mountain city of Chefchaouen, the ancient medinas of Fes, or the full length of Morocco down to Marrakech.
Tangier occupies a unique position at the very top of Morocco — a city shaped by centuries of diplomacy, literary exile, and maritime commerce. For travellers arriving from Spain by ferry (35 minutes from Tarifa), it is the most natural starting point for any northward Morocco itinerary. Cap Spartel, just 14 km from the city, is one of North Africa's most spectacular headlands: the exact point where the Atlantic and Mediterranean waters merge.
