It is the perfect liaison between the majesty of Europe, and the mystery of Morocco. Join us for a memorable day trip to Tangier, and be proud of your step to Africa!
The streets in the old city are Oriental. Some of them three feet wide, some six, but only two that are over a dozen. A man can blockade the most of them by extending his body across them. Isn’ t it an Oriental Picture?
Today’s tour of Tangier will start out with a visit around the periphery of Tangier and a visit of the new city and the medina (old town). After driving through the main boulevards and the “Place de France”, you pass the fashionable residential districts of “Marché aux Boeufs” and “California”; thence along the new mountain road with its magnificent villas and lovely gardens. The drive continues to the famous lighthouse of CAPE SPARTEL where a brief halt is made to admire the magnificent view of the Straits of Gibraltar from the farthest westerly point of the African continent. A stop for a Camel Ride, and onto the CAVES of HERCULES where for centuries the tribe that owns the caves has been scooping out millstones to grind wheat and olives.
Afterwards, you drive to the Kasbah for included lunch in an authentic Moroccan restaurant where you will be served superb Moroccan cuisine and partake in the customary mint tea and pastries, all while being entertained by Andalusian musicians. The continuation of your tour will take you walking to visit the Kasbah with its Sultan’s Palace, a magnificent example of Moorish architecture, the Old Treasury and the Museum. Then follows an interesting stroll through the picturesque winding streets and souks of the Medina, to visit the MENDOUBIA GARDENS, the GRAND SOCCO, the PETIT SOCCO, and the Jewish Quarter.
