Ferry to Tanger Med, then the city
Tangier day trip from Algeciras
Ferries from Algeciras arrive at Tanger Med, a cargo and passenger port about 45 kilometres from the city, so the day needs a transfer at each end.
Step by step
From Algeciras to the medina and back
- 1
Ferries from Algeciras cross to Tanger Med in roughly an hour and a half, with frequent sailings. Tanger Med is not in Tangier: it lies about 45 kilometres east of the city, around 45 minutes by road.
- 2
Ask us about a private transfer between Tanger Med and the city: we meet you at the terminal and bring you to the start of your tour. Confirm this when you book.
- 3
If you would rather walk straight into the medina, consider crossing from Tarifa instead: the Tarifa ferry docks in the city centre.
- 4
We walk you back to your vehicle in time for the return crossing.
Algeciras works when Tarifa does not suit you, but the transfer at Tanger Med takes time out of the day. Plan the earliest practical crossing.

Questions about the day trip from Algeciras
Does the Algeciras ferry arrive in Tangier itself?
No. Algeciras ferries dock at Tanger Med, a large port about 45 kilometres east of the city. You need a transfer to reach Tangier; ask us to arrange it when you book.
Is the ferry ticket included?
No, the ferry ticket is bought from the ferry company. We help with the choice of sailings and with the purchase if you wish.
Tarifa or Algeciras?
For a day trip, Tarifa: the crossing is shorter and lands you in the city centre. Algeciras makes sense if you are already there, travel with a car, or the Tarifa sailings are full.
