Best border to enter morocco
A warm wellcome to everyone at HU and all the best wishes for a happy traveling 2015!
My friend and I will travel to Morocco from 06.03.2015 till 06.04.2015.
We gonna leave Europe either from Algeciras or Tarifa to set over to Morocco.
What do you suggest us as beeing the easyest way entering Morocco, via:
Tanger or Tanger Med or Ceuta?
Both motorcycles run on Swiss numberplates and have insurance coverage by the international green card.
Thanks for your most appreciated advises!

Tanger Med is the port of choice for ease of entry. Straight out of the port and onto the motorway for onwards travel

No experience with Tangier Med, but Ceuta was the cheapest so I went with that port of entry. It was extremely easy, from ferry to Morocco border crossing was only about 3 km.

Why doesn't anyone seem to use Nador? I've used it a few times and it was always nice, quick, nothing like the circus in Tanger Med.
Granted, it's much further to the east then Tanger and there are less ferries available but being such a breeze of a border I've always found it preferable.

I used Nador many times - takes longer (which can be a benefit), costs more but quiet and quick as you say. Plus you can be in the desert within a day.
Did Tan Med both ways first time last year and must say didn't find it a circus at all.
Boats left very late both ways but in Mk quick and efficient.
€93 open return for a moto bought on the day.
Insurance is easy in Tan Med too - not managed to get it for years at Nador.
Motorway tolls to Marrakech (~7hrs) add up to €20 iirc but well worth it to get south quick.
Coming in one and out the other can work well if you want to do a full sweep.
