Itinerary
Tangier → Cape Spartel → Heracles Caves → Asilah → Tangier
Your adventure begins upon arrival at Tangier port (or after hotel pick-up) where your private English-speaking guide will warmly welcome you.
Start with a panoramic drive through the modern quarters of Tangier, where European influences blend with Moroccan flair. Pass elegant villas and embassies in the former French, Italian, Spanish, and British districts, including a glimpse of the Royal Palace surrounded by lush gardens.
Continue toward Cape Spartel, the dramatic point marking the meeting of two seas — the Atlantic and the Mediterranean. Enjoy the view, take photos, or even try a camel ride along the beach. Nearby, you’ll visit the Heracles Caves, an archaeological site dating back to the Neolithic era and steeped in myth.
Next, explore Tangier’s Kasbah and Medina on foot. Wander through narrow alleys lined with colorful markets and artisan shops. Visit the Kasbah Museum, once a royal residence, and learn about Morocco’s northern heritage through its antiques and architectural treasures. From the ramparts, soak in views stretching to Gibraltar and Spain.
After lunch at a local restaurant, head south along the Atlantic coast to Asilah, a serene seaside town famed for its artistic murals, whitewashed walls, and cultural festival. Stroll through its peaceful lanes, admire the sea-view ramparts, and enjoy the laid-back atmosphere before returning to Tangier for your ferry or evening transfer back to Spain.
