Best Of Tangier

The tour provides the broad picture of Tangier including top highlights in and around the city. Upon arrival, you will begin your exploration with a panoramic ride through the new town and the surrounding area. Photo lovers will have great opportunities at scenic views while driving along Perdicaris Park and the beautiful coastline. Upon request, I can arrange for a fun camel ride near the beach!

Tangier has a strategic location at the crossroads of Africa and Europe. Therefore the tour will lead you to Cape Spartel considered both as the northernmost tip of Africa, and the meeting point of the Mediterranean and the Atlantic, marking the beginning of the Strait of Gibraltar. We will continue towards the famous cave of Hercules associated with classical Greek and Roman mythology.

As a result of its International Status (1923-1956), Tangier gained the reputation for multiculturalism, and artistic freedom. Besides an important community of expatriates, the city attracted leading authors and artists in the late 1940s, such as Paul Bowls, Tennessee Williams, William Boroughs, Jack Kerouac..

The second portion of the tour consists of an extensive and relaxing walk through the alleys and winding streets of the Kasbah to explore the historical and architectural heritage, notably the Moorish architecture. Among the numerous landmark buildings in the Medina is the American Legation listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places in 1981. Historically, Morocco was the first country to recognize the American independence in 1777.

Tangier has a significant Jewish heritage dating from the Spanish Inquisition, including ancient synagogues, crafts, and cuisine. Moroccan Jews have contributed to the cultural and religious diversity that has characterized Moroccan society over the centuries.

In order to get a good taste of the local lifestyle, the tour provides the opportunity to experience the authentic Moroccan cuisine, and the vibrant atmosphere of the souks and bazaar where artisans and merchants display a variety of handmade items.

With regard to the location the tour starts from, it is worth mentioning that the pickup and drop off at either Tanger ville port or airport is included in the tour price.
