The experience
The tour starts with pickup at your hotel, cruise port or any point in Tangier, then heads west to Cape Spartel: the northwesternmost tip of Africa where the Atlantic meets the Mediterranean. At 1,000 feet above sea level, the cape opens onto views of both oceans at once. Below it lie the Caves of Hercules, where a sea-facing opening is shaped like the African continent when viewed from the water, a form the Phoenicians are believed to have carved centuries ago. The cave sits next to the summer palace of the King of Morocco and holds layers of the city's pre-Islamic past.
After the caves, you ride a camel on the beach (the one concrete thing most visitors come for), then continue to El Hafa, a historic clifftop neighborhood overlooking the Mediterranean. There you walk among ancient Phoenician tombs carved into the rock, their stone faces still visible after thousands of years. The Tangier Kasbah comes next, the fortress-palace built by Sultan Moulay Ismail on the hill above the old city, with gardens called Dar el Makhzen spreading across the grounds. From there the guide takes you down into the medina and the Souk of Tangier, where vendors sell spices, textiles, fresh produce and handmade crafts in a maze of narrow alleys. Your guide helps you find quality pieces and negotiate prices fairly, then you have free time in the heart of the old market to wander on your own.
The tour ends with lunch at a panoramic terrace in the medina overlooking the old city. You choose the restaurant and pay separately. Throughout the day the vehicle stays air-conditioned, and coffee, tea and bottled water are provided. All areas of the tour are wheelchair accessible, and the guide speaks your language: English, Spanish, French or Arabic.
