Driving in Morocco
by DanielF
It is possible to drive one's car into Morocco. There are several ferries a day connecting South Spain and Northern Morocco. The main departure ports are Algeciras, Tarifa and Gibraltar and they arrive to Tangier or Ceuta (a Spanish enclave in Morocco). It is important to be aware that the Summer exodus of the large community of Moroccan workers in Western Europe generates agglomerations and large queues to cross the Strait on the peak days, which are definitely to avoid. If you want to avoid the hassle, it is also possible to rent a car in Morocco. Roads are good in the central area of the country (around Casablanca, Rabat, Tanger, Marrakesh, Fes...), but if you want to go to the deep south, you will need a 4x4. Driving in Morocco requires a lot of attention, because roads are often full of all kinds of vehicles, people and animals, like these turkeys on sale by a road near Casablanca.
