Itinerary
Step 1
Departure from Tarifa city port with express ferry to Tangier city port.
Step 2
Arrival to Tangier
Step 3
Stand at the impressive Cape Spartel lighthouse, the northwesternmost point of mainland Africa. From here, you will enjoy spectacular, panoramic views over the exact meeting point where the deep blue Atlantic Ocean officially converges with the calm Mediterranean Sea.
Step 4
We will also visit the beautiful Perdicaris Park, a tranquil forest with a dramatic secret. Known to locals as Arrrmelat Forest, it became world-famous for the 1904 'Perdicaris Incident.' Here, the infamous bandit Mulai Ahmed Raisuli kidnapped the wealthy American Ion Perdicaris, sparking an international affair and a tale you'll hear all about on your tour.
Step 5
We will explore the historic heart of Tangier: the Kasbah. This ancient, walled fortress dominates the city from its hilltop, offering breathtaking panoramic views. Within its walls, we'll discover the Dar el Makhzen, the spectacular 17th-century palace built by the powerful Sultan Moulay Ismail, and wander through its impressive royal gardens.
Step 6
Step into myth at the Caves of Hercules, a spectacular natural wonder situated next to the royal summer palace. You will explore this cavern, famous for its two entrances. The land entrance is a gateway to mystery, but the sea entrance is the main event: a breathtaking opening, shaped perfectly like the continent of Africa, which legend says was carved by the Phoenicians thousands of years ago.
Step 7
You will stand in the historic Place du 9 Avril 1947, known locally as the 'Grand Socco.' This square is named for the pivotal day King Mohamed V delivered a momentous speech from this very spot, boldly calling for the nation's independence and marking a turning point in Moroccan history.
Step 8
We will step inside the stunning Moshe Nahon Synagogue, a hidden gem that reveals the rich Jewish heritage of Tangier. It was commissioned by Moise Nahon, the patriarch of one of the city's most important and influential banking families, as a testament to their status.
As we continue our tour
we will pass by the legendary Petite Socco. Your guide will point out this historic square, once one of Morocco's greatest souks and the cosmopolitan heart of international Tangier, where writers, diplomats, and bankers held court in its grand cafes
Enjoy a swift
