Hi.
We will be driving from Fes to Tangier (The Continental Hotel), does anyone have any good directions of the best way to go, or even any pointers to good maps! (although I guess that might be asking a bit!)

Thanks
Wayne

I arrive in Tangier from Gibraltar on April 2nd. I only plan to spend a few days in Morocco and would like to experience a Hamman. Is there a traditional public Hamman in or near Tangier?

Taking a trip to Marrakech, Morocco and would like to travel to Spain, specifically over to Ibiza. What is the best way to get from Morocco to Ibiza? I was planning on taking a train from Marrakech to Tangier, then a ferry from Tangier to Gibraltar, then onto Valencia or Javea by train where I can take another ferry to Ibiza. Or is there a plane I can take direct from Marrakech to Ibiza?

Hi,

Many thanks in advance

I will be travelling by van (A Mercedes Vito which is similar to a Transit) and need some advice please,I think the vehicle has English plates but is insured in Spain at the moment.

1st How far is the distance ?

2nd How long is this journey likely to take ?

3rd Is it possible to get recovery insurance ?
(I am told its best to get accident insurance from the port in Tangier???????)
We are bothered about a breakdown and not being able to get the van back to Spain!!!!!

Any advice would be appreciated,thanks,John

I'd like to know which companies have hydrofoils and allow on-line ticket booking without adding substantial fees. Suggestions?

Hi to everybody!
We are a group of people, around 10 people, and we are looking for a house to rent near Asilah for New Year´s Eve, for a week.
We would like it´s not in town, anyone know something or someone who can help??
Thanxx in advance!!

Hello, we are from Portugal and will be in Asilah around November 11 and 12 and need some suggestions.

Any comments on Berbari hotel or casa de la luna? other hotels? weather?

I am taking my mother on a cruise next September and would like advice of what to see during our short time in each port. We will be visiting
Amsterdam, Netherlands (multi-days)
Zeebrugge, Belgium (8a - 530p)
LaHavre, France (7a - 10p)
La Coruna, Spain (7a - 3p)
Lisbon, Portugal (12n - 6p)
Tangier, Morocco (12n - 7p)
Barcelona, Spain (multi-days)

I've been to Barcelona so any non-touristy suggestions would be nice so I could see something new.
I'm questioning going to Brussels or seeing Brugge and Zeebrugge.
And in France, it's 2.5hrs each way to Paris... should we opt for Versaille or Normandy or somewhere else instead?
ANY suggestions are appreciated!!! Thanks guys!!

Any suggestions for a hotel in the centre of Tangier. We want it to be as cheap as possible and don't care too much what its like! We're there on 5th for the night (or maybe 2 nights).

What are best things to do in the evening? I hear that the nightclubs aren't exactly 'authentic', is it best to stick to hotel bars?

Thanks

We are a party of 4 adults traveling from Marbella, Spain to Trangier for a day trip in early October.
Which is the better ferry route - out of Algeciras or Tarifa?
Does anyone have the name of a good guide? We are not interested in the snakes or the camels!
Any other suggestions would be great!
Thanks

CAN ANY ONE INFORM TO THE DISTANCE & TIME TO TRAVEL FROM
Huelva Spain to Asilah portugal

Hotel air twin beds under 100usd

Does anyone know about a helicopter from Tangiers to Gibraltar?

All the websites say you can't prebook overnighter with couchettes from Tangier to Morocco outside of the country and you can't get them on the day of your journey. Is that true, cuz that's what I want to do.

Second thing..do ferries from Tangier to Gibraltar go on a daily basis (what time - in August)cuz I couldn't find it anywhere. I know it's easier to go to Algeciras the thing is on my way back I wanna spend the day in Gibraltar and the hit to Fuengirola ( can you recommend the bus?)

Thank you so much in advance...I can't wait to get out from ***ty London.

hi to every one
i would like to know the the tariff of a taxi travelling from jerez aeroport to algeciras port in a direct run .
thanks for your help

Anyone know how much the ferry costs from either of these ports (or any ports near these)?

Can anyone recommend a hotel in Tangier. Some place with local color (but without local bugs). No student hostels, please. we're too old. No luxury hotels. We're too poor.

Thanks

Next June (2007) myself and my family will be staying in Gibraltar for two weeks. During our stay i have suggested popping over to Morroco, seen as it is so close. My question relates to the boat trip to Tanger...ive found a boat trip that goes from Gibraltar to Tanger, with a visit to the ancient market souks and a ride on a camel (plus lunch), and comes back later that day however different travel brochures quote different prices for seemingly the same tour..My Question is has anyone took this trip from Gibraltar to Tanger, what did the tour include and what did it cost? Plus are there different tours?
Im don't really want to go from Algeciras to Tanger as i was hoping that the view from taking a boat trip from Gibrlatar would be spectacular, and im a bit of a photograph enthusiast (i can imagine seeing the Rock fading into the distance).

I hope someone out there can help me...thank you in advance to anyone who can.

what is the best (most interesting & inexpensive) way to travel from malaga to morocco: e.g. which ferry & which destination? i am a woman traveling alone, but speak pretty good spanish & french so I feel reasonably confident.

Hi guys, I have a friend in Tangier wanting me to visit him, so I am not concerned about when I would be with him and his family, but I keep hearing about the fact that Morocco being a Muslim country is not friendly at all when it comes to women, and I do have to get there myself, and I will have my 6 year old daughter with me, so i am concerned.. any advice? can anyone give me an idea of what to expect, what i should wear or not wear etc?? These are questions I would never think about normally...should I be thinking about covering up??? if so.. not going!

I live in Nerja with my husband, we are retired, English. Our two granddaughters, aged 15 and 13 are visiting in August and wish to go to Tangier for the day. We can get a coach package trip from Nerj abut have heard we can drive down to Tarifa/Algecerus and get a package, including guide etc from there. Is this possible, please

Hi everyone!
Me and one my friend are going to have a trip to Morocco in the begining of July 2006. We are going from Estonia by plane to Spain (probably to Barcelona) and then want to go to the place where may take a ferry and to get to Morocco. Can anyone tell us, from what place its better, easier and to get to Morocco? How much it will cost?

I had heard that there are buses what goes from Spain to Morocco... from Malaga? Where we may find them and how much it costs? Or its better to go by ferry by ourselves? When we reach Morocco, how we can get to another town? Will there be a bus station or something like that?

And also one more important question.. we dont speak spanish or french... will English language be usefull enough there or we have to think something out too?

Hi All

We are planning on visiting Tangiers for a day whilst in Spain this summer. As we have two young children we want to keep hassle to a minimum so have concluded we would be better off having an accompanying guide. Is anyyone able to recommend a reputable guide taht we can get in touch with and book via email for a day's tour.

We are travelling independently so will not be able to book a tour through a holiday company.

Thanks for any help

Hi!

I plan to arrive in Tanger and travel around some 10-12 days by car. I also depart from Tanger. From financial point of view, is it more feasible to rent a car (the cheapest possible) in Tanger or to go to Fes (or Meknes) by bus or train and look for a car there?
Could anyone please share some practical info on rental prices in Tanger, in Fes and in Meknes and on the places where thos prices were found.

Thanks in advance!

Just a quick question to the editor of this page or whoever is involved...but why is there not a page for CHEFCHOUEN on VT..or is there but under a different spelling? Ive just come back from there and loved it and would like to write about it under its own heading rather than just Tangier...hope to get some good news about that soon!

Thankyou very much!

Thank you for your help. I actually have read through 2 guide books for Morocco and skimmed through a few others, as well as doing Internet searches but was not getting the information I needed. Besides, a book is one thing but personal experience is generally better.
Thanks so much for your help.
