Your Moroccan Adventure Begins!
Meet us at the entrance to Tarifa Port in Cádiz, where your exciting journey to Tangier begins. After boarding the ferry, we’ll set sail for a short but spectacular crossing of the Strait of Gibraltar. Keep an eye on the waves—you might even spot dolphins!
Upon arrival in northern Morocco, our local guide will greet us and escort us to our transport. We’ll kick off the adventure with a panoramic tour of Tangier, taking in its most iconic sights, including:
- The Caves of Hercules – A legendary site where mythology meets nature.
- The Atlantic Coast Lookout – A stunning viewpoint where the Mediterranean and Atlantic meet.
- Camel Ride Experience (optional) – A chance to ride Morocco’s most iconic animal!
Next, we’ll head into the heart of Tangier, leaving our transport behind to explore the city on foot. As we stroll through this multicultural hub, you’ll witness the harmonious blend of Muslim, Jewish, and Christian influences that have drawn artists and writers here for generations.
Wandering through Tangier’s Medina, you’ll lose yourself in a maze of vibrant alleyways, bustling souks, and historic riads. Highlights include:
- 9 April 1947 Square & Grand Souk – A lively market, perfect for souvenirs, spices, and textiles.
- Hidden corners of the old city – A true immersion into Moroccan culture.
Midway through our journey, we’ll pause for a traditional Moroccan lunch at a local restaurant, where you’ll savour specialities like couscous and tagine, accompanied by warm Moroccan hospitality.
After lunch, we’ll explore more of the city, with time to browse local shops and soak in the colourful atmosphere. Finally, at the time set by our guide, we’ll regroup and head back to the port, boarding the ferry for our return journey to Tarifa.
