vehicle, crossing the Strait of Gibraltar from Algeciras, Tarifa, or the Alboran Sea from Malaga, Motril, or Almer\u00eda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The shortest and most comfortable lines are Algeciras-Ceuta and Tarifa -Tangier Medina. If we go to the country&#8217;s eastern region, the Malaga or Almeria to Melilla lines are recommended.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Driving_in_Morocco\"><\/span>Driving in Morocco<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Once in Morocco, there is a magnificent network of highways and national roads that connect Ceuta-Tangier and Melilla, Nador with Rabat Casablanca, Marrakech, Fes, Meknes, Oujda, El Jadida, Agadir, Errachid\u00eda, Ouarzazate, Zagora, etc&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Special attention deserves the new Mediterranean road from Saidia in the east runs along the coast until Tangier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The secondary network is in worse conditions, with narrow roads poorly signposted and often with side steps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Due to the state of the network, the numerous passers-by, the strong police control, and the way of driving of the population, a moderate speed and greater caution than usual is recommended, strictly respecting the traffic signs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Arrive_by_plane\"><\/span>Arrive by plane<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p> The airlines connect the main European cities with the airports of Casablanca Tangier, Fes, Marrakech, Agadir, Nador, etc. Every day there are more <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jetcost.com\/?aw_campaign_id=1906417428&amp;gclid=CjwKCAiAu5agBhBzEiwAdiR5tK_MoKD9Brgf7OWrNApcgnIKaI66v5egZI7YFp8Xx_Mo0pLlP5SAtxoCg-oQAvD_BwE\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">low-cost<\/a> companies that have flights to the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Offers of tourist packages at very competitive prices are also frequent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Morocco_by_train\"><\/span>Morocco by train<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Once crossed the Strait of Gibraltar, from Tangier or Nador, there are <a href=\"https:\/\/idealmoroccotours.com\/blog\/travel-by-train-in-morocco\/\">railway lines<\/a> that connect them to Casablanca &#8211; Rabat, and Marrakech.
