The Experience
Your guide meets you at your hotel and the tour starts in a comfortable, air-conditioned minivan. The route covers the main sights of Tangier in four to five hours, moving between the city's historical quarters and natural landmarks without the logistics of arranging your own transport. The Kasbah sits on a hill overlooking the city—a palace complex built by Sultan Moulay Ismail in the 17th century, with gardens that are part of the original Dar el Makhzen. You'll walk through the Medina, where the Petite Socco square once anchored one of Morocco's greatest souks, and browse the colorful craftsman shops and markets that still line the streets.
The Caves of Hercules are carved into the cliffs north of the city, and the sea entrance is known as "The Map of Africa" because of its shape when viewed from the water—a formation believed to have been created by the Phoenicians. From Cape Spartel, the lighthouse marks the northern entrance to the Strait, and the views stretch across the point where the Mediterranean and Atlantic meet. Perdicaris Park, named after an American businessman kidnapped there in 1904, sits in the Rmelat Forest and offers a quieter stop on the route. The tour includes a camel ride, coffee or tea, and entry to the Musée de la Kasbah. Lunch—typically a tajine—can be arranged in the Medina.
WiFi is available on board the minivan, and the vehicle is wheelchair accessible. The tour suits all fitness levels, and specialized infant seats are available if you're traveling with small children. Service animals are welcome.
