Tours and circuits departing from Tangier
Tangier is the natural entry point for travelers arriving from Spain by ferry. Every tour below starts with a private port or airport pickup — your Morocco adventure begins the moment you arrive.
Ferry Port Pickup
Arrive from Spain, tour Morocco
Tangier Med ferry port and Tangier Ville port are MSITravels' most popular entry points for travelers arriving from Tarifa or Algeciras, Spain. Your guide meets you dockside — Morocco begins the moment you step off the ferry. No taxi negotiations, no port confusion. We monitor your ferry crossing in real time and are waiting when you disembark, however early or late the vessel arrives.
Chefchaouen Blue City
2 hrs from Tangier
The most popular first stop from Tangier — the iconic blue-painted medina of Chefchaouen in the Rif Mountains. 2 hours from Tangier, dramatically different from the coastal city, and endlessly photogenic. The blue walls range from electric cobalt to pale lavender depending on the light and the hour. MSITravels allocates 2 nights in Chefchaouen so you see the medina at sunrise (empty lanes, extraordinary light) and after sunset (illuminated alleys, local cafés).
Tangier Medina Tour
Café Hafa · Grand Socco · Kasbah
Tangier itself has extraordinary literary and artistic history — Café Hafa where The Rolling Stones wrote and The Beatles sat watching Gibraltar in 1967, the Kasbah overlook with its sweeping view across the Strait between Africa and Europe, and the Grand Socco where two continents feel genuinely blurred. MSITravels offers half-day Tangier medina walks before continuing south, so you leave the city having understood its remarkable place in Moroccan and world cultural history.
Fes Imperial City
5 hrs south · UNESCO medina
Tangier to Fes in one day — the most historically complex and culturally intact city in Morocco, and one of the world's greatest medieval urban environments. MSITravels designs one-way journeys from Tangier south through the Rif Mountains, with optional stops at Chefchaouen (2 hours) or the charming market town of Ouezzane, arriving in Fes by evening and spending 2 full days in the medina with a specialist guide.
Asilah Atlantic Town
Artists' village · Murals · Ramparts
A 45-minute drive south of Tangier, Asilah is Morocco's most painterly coastal town — whitewashed walls covered in large-scale murals by international artists (renewed every August at the Asilah Cultural Festival), 15th-century Portuguese ramparts, fresh Atlantic fish restaurants, and a relaxed art-world atmosphere entirely unlike the bustle of Tangier. Perfect half-day stop en route south before Chefchaouen or Larache.
Full Morocco Circuit
Tangier to Marrakech or reverse
MSITravels designs the full Morocco circuit starting and ending in Tangier — covering Chefchaouen, Fes, Meknes, Marrakech, Atlas Mountains, and Sahara Desert before returning north. 10–14 days recommended for a round-trip from Tangier. One-way circuits finishing in Marrakech (for flights out of RAK) or Casablanca (for CMN flights) are equally popular and allow a clear north-to-south routing without backtracking.
Can I book a Morocco tour starting from Tangier ferry port?
Yes. MSITravels specializes in Tangier ferry port pickup — guide meets you dockside at either Tangier Ville (city port, Tarifa ferry) or Tangier Med (motorway port, Algeciras ferry) and your Morocco tour begins immediately. Chefchaouen is the most popular first stop: 2 hours south, a completely different world from coastal Tangier, and the ideal soft landing for first-time Morocco visitors.
