Excursions to Morocco from Spain

Morocco is just nine miles from Spain and so is a very tempting day trip to take when you fancy a break from Europe. However, the only city you are going to be able to see in a day is Tangier, a dirty port city that should be avoided at all costs. If possible, take at least three days in Morocco and give yourself a chance to at least see Marrakesh. On this page you'll find details of ferries and flights to Morocco from Spain, guided tours of Morocco and some advice for when in Morocco.

Things to Remember About Visiting Morocco

Morocco is a beautiful country that is well worth visiting. However, there are some points to remember.

• Tangier is horrible. There's nothing to see, so head off to the nicer places, like Fez or Marrakesh.
• The Moroccans WILL overcharge you and try to scam you It's a part of the culture, so have a sense of humor and be thick skinned. Barter like there's no tomorrow and be weary of anything that sounds even slightly untoward.
• Women WILL get attention Especially if they are blonde. Read more about Women Traveling Alone in Africa
