Tangier Ferry Arrival and the Rif North
Tarifa is the starting point, with Spanish passenger-ferry gateway opposite Tangier in view; Tangier changes the register through hillside streets; Tangier provides the final register; the itinerary balances sea crossings, port transfers, and road-network stages with space for craft and street life.

Ordre des étapes
- 1Tarifa
A dedicated visit window in Tarifa centres on the Spanish passenger-ferry gateway opposite Tangier, retained as a transport node whose sailing must be checked live. Leave the opening visit window with Tarifa before moving toward Tangier Ville, and protect one strong heritage chapter at a time.
Jour 1 · Flexible · 120 min · cartographié - 2Tangier Ville
A dedicated visit window in Tangier Ville centres on the city-centre rail and ferry arrival zone, kept distinct from Tangier Med when an itinerary depends on the correct gateway. Tangier Ville follows sea crossings from Tarifa; reserve the visit window for the place without folding Tangier into the same stop, and protect fewer monument-list days.
Jour 2 · Flexible · 90 min · cartographié - 3Tangier
Explore Tangier through the medina, Kasbah, art and waterfront, with a separate plan for the Atlantic edge. Choose the right arrival point and leave time to see how the city changes between its quarters.
Jour 3 · Après-midi · 360 min · cartographié - 4Tetouan
Tetouan's UNESCO-listed medina preserves a strong Andalusian architectural inheritance beneath the Rif mountains. Its craft streets and historic houses make a distinct city visit. The Mediterranean coast and Chefchaouen belong to separate outings, rather than extensions of one short medina walk.
Jour 4 · Matin · 300 min · cartographié - 5Chefchaouen
Explore Chefchaouen as a living Rif town, with time for its medina and a separately chosen mountain outing. Plan the walking, photography and onward connection around your group’s pace.
Jour 5 · Matin · 360 min · cartographié - 6Asilah
Asilah brings together an Atlantic-facing medina, ramparts and a tradition of art in public streets. Choose it for a town walk with sea views, then make a separate plan for beach time. Tangier provides a different northern city experience along the same coast.
Jour 6 · Après-midi · 240 min · cartographié - 7Tangier
Explore Tangier through the medina, Kasbah, art and waterfront, with a separate plan for the Atlantic edge. Choose the right arrival point and leave time to see how the city changes between its quarters.
Jour 7 · Après-midi · 360 min · cartographié
Histoire
Tarifa sets one character through Tarifa's sailing; Tetouan changes it with relationship with the Mediterranean; Tangier completes it around literary memory.
Tarifa uses day 1 before Tangier for Tarifa's sailing; day 3 gives Tangier, before Tarifa, room for Tangier's Europe; day 4 reaches Tetouan before Tarifa for relationship with the Mediterranean. Day 6 before Tarifa keeps Asilah focused on sea-facing lanes; before Tarifa, day 7 separates literary memory in Tangier.
In Tarifa, the opening draws on Spanish passenger-ferry gateway opposite Tangier; the territorial span crosses Tanger-Tétouan-Al Hoceïma through sea crossings, harbour ground transfers, and road-network connections, giving Tetouan a measured pause around Andalusian medina and leaving fewer monument-list days.
Treat Tarifa to Tangier Ville as the first live decision: confirm live ferry times between Tangier and Tarifa and port formalities and current carriageway conditions at Tangier and road-network timing; refresh the final details before Tangier.
