Morocco's main port for international passengers is Tangier, about 600km (450 miles) north of Marrakech, on the Mediterranean coast. All ferries dock at the tall ferry terminal building in the heart of the town, which contains a bureau de change and a railway ticket office. A hydrofoil dock is located nearby. There is a railway station, the Gare du Port, within the ferry port but the vast majority of services to Marrakech leave from the Gare du Ville, which is a short walk along the waterfront.
Alternatively, travellers can sail to the Spanish enclave of Cueta, on the northern Moroccan coast, about forty-five minutes' sailing time from Spain. From the port at Cueta, it is necessary to take a taxi or bus to the border village of Fnideq to cross into Morocco. From Fnideq taxi services go to the town of Tetouan, where there are frequent bus services to Tangier.
Regular ferry services operate to Tangier from France, Spain and Gibraltar; including services by Comanav (tel: (09) 942 350) and Limadet Ferry (tel: (09) 933 626 or 931 142).
