It's absolutely great isn't it? I really liked this journey. Would be a bit better if there's public transport at the other side of the border as well, although the taxi was also fine.
@@Trainviking I agree, I am taking a ferry from Portsmouth to Bilbao later in the year and I don't think the ferry port has a bus, need a taxi to the nearest metro station. I should have went to Santander..
Hi! One recommendation, do take the ferry from Algeciras to Tanger Med, Tanger Med has a railway station and overall the ferries on that route are better quality. Side Note: I recommend Baleària or AML instead of DFDS/FRS, their ferries aren’t really top quality but still are great.
I actually did this exact same trip traveling from Amsterdam to Tangier overland over the course of a week. I cannot say however that the customs process on the boat was easy, in fact it was quite chaotic! I spent literally the entire trip in line with little communication about what forms I needed to fill out. That being said, it's still an epic way to enter Morocco. I also visited Gibraltar on this trip which I would highly recommend you visit at some point.
Oh really? Maybe the kind of stadf you have also makes a big impact. In the higher class staff also helped us filling in the forms, they even offered to take care of everything, however I prefer to keep my pasport within sight all time (although I trusted those people, so that's not the thing, if its possible I always keep my pasport within sight).
@@Trainviking yes that would make sense. I was in the regular class which was crowded and chaotic and nobody helped me at all. Next time perhaps I will upgrade!
@@benjaminjaffer1461 There shouldn't really be much confusion about the immigration form as there is only one form, not a selection to choose from, which has to be completed by everybody (including Moroccan passport holders). Moroccan immigration does tend to be slow. I suppose it all really depends on how busy the ferry is. One tip would be either to do your best to be first or else just pass your time until you can see the queue has almost gone and then go among the last passengers. I think there MAY be a separate desk for passengers in the higher class to go to but can't confirm this to be correct.
Many thanks for this very good video! Really enjoyed it :) contemplating to travel to Casablanca myself without flying!
Thank you very much and this is very informative and helpful. I will take this ferry this December.
Very much informative
Interesting,
don't you all enjoy railroad
trams, trains etc are just so cool
take a ride in my ''transportation'' folder, (folder 2 in playlists) :)
I have been to Tarifa but this ferry across to Morocco is perfect as it gets straight into the city, very helpful video, thank you.

Hi! Did you get your passport checked at the port of Tarifa or you just passed straight away to ferry without any check points?
