View Tour
Arrive by ferry or airport and explore Morocco’s highlights from Tangier — from the blue streets of Chefchaouen to the imperial cities of Fes and Marrakech, and the magic of the Sahara Desert.
Journey from a northern gateway
Tangier is a natural entry point for travelers crossing from Spain or flying into the north. Private tours typically linger in the Kasbah and along the Strait, then climb into the Rif for Chefchaouen’s blue medina before continuing to Fes, the Sahara and Marrakech.
