TOURS DEPARTING TANGIER (15 Day All Morocco)
GETTING THERE:
It is also possible to arrive by ferry from Algeciras / Gibraltar or Tarifa (E35 each way) Monarch and EasyJet fly to Malaga and Gibraltar, which will be cheaper than flying direct to Tangier. From Malaga you will need a bus from airport to main bus station (1E) and then a bus to Algeciras (E10.50 2 2.5 hours) ferries depart frequently from all of the above to Tangier. Fast ferry takes 1 hour / slow ferry 3 hours. You gain 2 hours on arrival in Tangier, remember you lose 2 hours on your return to Spain.
PLEASE NOTE IF YOU ARE ARRIVING BY FERRY YOU WILL NEED TO GET YOUR PASSPORT STAMPED ON THE VESSEL BEFORE YOU DISEMBARK.
Spending money is an individual choice and depends how much you want to spend on drinks, local food and souvenirs. There will be food available always on the truck, but it is nice to sample the local food as well. To cover drinks and souvenirs and an optional night out in Fes, we recommend to bring at least the equivalent of £10. per day spending money in either US dollars / Euros / or £.
Exchange rate = £1 = 11.5 Dirham (correct at time of print)
PLEASE CHANGE YOUR CASH AT THE HOTEL AS THIS IS SAFE AND AS GOOD A RATE AS YOU WILL GET.
