Meet your friendly local guide and driver right at the port, then set off on a scenic coastal journey through Tangier’s charming neighborhoods, where Europe and Africa almost touch across the sparkling Strait of Gibraltar.
Your first stop is Cap Spartel, the breathtaking point where the Atlantic Ocean meets the Mediterranean Sea. See the iconic lighthouse from the outside, stroll through fragrant pine forests, and soak in unforgettable panoramic views of the rugged Moroccan coast.
Continue to Achakkar Beach, known for its golden sands and gentle waves. Feel the ocean breeze as you walk along the shore, or enjoy an optional camel ride for that picture-perfect Moroccan experience! Please note that the optional camel ride lasts around 30 minutes, costs approximately 20 EUR (or 210 Dirhams), and can only be paid for on site in cash. Guests who choose not to participate in the camel ride may take a pleasant walk along the seaside or through the forest, explore the nearby caves, or simply relax and capture some memorable photos.
Next, explore the Caves of Hercules, a natural wonder full of legends. Check out the famous sea opening shaped like the map of Africa and the amazing rock formations carved by the waves over time — it’s one of Tangier’s must-see spots!
Dive into Tangier’s soul as you see the Kasbah fortress from the outside and explore the Old Medina, a lively maze of narrow streets, colorful markets, and Arab-Andalusian architecture. Meet local artisans, discover hidden riads, and enjoy stunning views of the Strait of Gibraltar from secret terraces. Enjoy at least an hour of free time over a traditional Moroccan lunch (optional, at your own expense) at one of the charming restaurants in the Medina. Try fragrant tagines, fluffy couscous, and refreshing mint tea — a perfect cultural and culinary finale.
After a day filled with scenic beauty, warm hospitality, and cultural discovery, your guide and driver will escort you comfortably back to your ship — with wonderful memories (and photos!) of Tangier’s unique charm.

I booked this tour for my parents and they enjoyed it. They are elderly but still travel a lot and they said that Tangier was the most memorable part of their cruise. The guide (Youssef, not sure about the spelling!) made sure they kept up with the group, and since it was a small-group tour, the pace was relaxed. Turned out to be a good choice.
We booked this tour last minute since the original one we chose was cancelled. We were worried we'd end up with nothing to do in Tangier, but the tour company accepted our booking right away and even got in touch with us to make sure we were all set. That was super professional and kind! The guide and driver were friendly and the tour itself was a great deal.
My family and I really enjoyed this tour. The guide, Joseph (Yusef?) shared with us many inside stories you cannot really look up online. The bus was comfortable, and in general, it was a good quality of service. We would definitely recommend it.
It was a fun and adventurous intro to Morocco. We saw a lot in one day without getting tired. Cap Spartel was fantastic, the camel ride was fun, and my kids enjoyed it. The tour company organized it all in a smooth way and the friendly guide Fatima made the whole experience even better.
On a trip with a small group of friends and we enjoyed this this tour from start to finish. Tangier is such an interesting mix of cultures and our guide was Youseff and he did a commendable job explaining everything in a fun and easy way. The coastal drive was fantastic, with a nice stop by the beach for some light refreshments.
