About this experience

This private tour begins in Málaga, Marbella, or the Gibraltar Border on the Spanish side. Guests can also start directly at Tarifa port if they have their own vehicle. Participants will take a ferry from Tarifa to Tangier, where they will meet a private guide and driver. The itinerary includes a ride through various neighborhoods and scenic viewpoints, with stops at Cape Spartel, where the Atlantic Ocean meets the Mediterranean Sea, and the Caves of Hercules. A 15-minute camel ride is also part of the experience. The tour includes a visit to the Kasbah and a view of the Medina. After exploring Tangier, the group will head to Asilah to wander through its charming old town. The return journey concludes with a ferry back to Tarifa, followed by transport back to the accommodation. This tour is suitable for those interested in cultural exploration and scenic views. It may not suit travelers seeking a fast-paced itinerary.

Itinerary

1

Asilah Medina

Medina of Asilah is a town in Morocco in the province of Asilah-Safi built on a tiny islet, located about 5 kilometers from the Atlantic coast. It has been inhabited since prehistoric times and attained its present name in 691 AD when Caliph Abd al-Malik ibn Marwan reconquered it from the Visigoths. The city has an old medina with narrow winding streets.

2

Tangier Casbah

The Tangier Casbah, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is the oldest part of this bustling city and its historic heart. It is a traditional Moroccan townhouse in the medina quarter of Tangier. It is a walled fortress-like complex that contrasts sharply with the open spaces of the city's souks, or markets.

3

Medina of Tangier

The medina, or old city, of Tangier is an open air museum. It is a labyrinth of alleyways both commercial and residential. It's well worth exploring for the many small shops and stalls on offer to buy everything from Moroccan jewellery to fresh seafood, or just to soak in the atmosphere of this fascinating African city.

4

Caves of Hercules

Hercules Cave is a 10-minute walk from the coast, in the hills overlooking Tangier. The cave, now collapsed and covered with a hill of sand, was once used as a secret meeting place by smugglers and pirates from all around the world. This is the first and only cave in the world with galleries that have been inhabited continuously for more than 40,000 years. Starting from the end of May, discover this natural wonder of nature.
