The Algeciras to Tanger Med ferry
The crossing from Algeciras to Tanger Med is the principal artery between Europe and Africa, carrying a constant stream of cars, lorries and foot passengers across the Strait of Gibraltar. Several operators share the route, so departures run throughout the day and well into the night, making it easy to turn up and travel without booking far ahead. The journey itself is short and scenic, with the Rock of Gibraltar fading astern and the Rif mountains rising ahead. Tanger Med is a large, well-organised terminal around forty kilometres from Tangier itself, connected by motorway and shuttle services. Because the route is so heavily used by freight, sailings are reliable year-round, though peak summer and the return of Moroccan families living in Europe can fill ferries quickly. Arrive in good time for passport and vehicle formalities at both ends.
