Tangier City Tour with Camel Ride, Cape Spartel & Caves of Hercules

Our private Tangier city tour brings together, in about four hours, everything that makes the city on the Strait unique: the cliffs of Cape Spartel where the Atlantic meets the Mediterranean, a camel ride along the beach, the legendary Caves of Hercules, a panoramic drive through modern Tangier and a guided walk through the Kasbah and the medina. You travel in an air-conditioned vehicle with a professional multilingual driver, with pickup from your hotel or the port.

Cape Spartel, camel ride and the Caves of Hercules

The tour begins with a scenic drive to Cape Spartel, Morocco’s north-western tip, crowned by its lighthouse. After a photo stop above the two seas, you enjoy a short camel ride on the beach – included in the price – before reaching the Caves of Hercules. Steeped in mythology, the caves are famous for their sea opening shaped like the map of Africa. Entrance to the small caves is included; the main Caves of Hercules and Cape Spartel tickets are paid on site.

Modern Tangier, the Kasbah and the medina

On the way back, a panoramic drive takes you through the colonial-era districts and the elegant California neighbourhood, where villas overlook the bay. The tour ends on foot with a guided walk through the Kasbah and the medina: whitewashed lanes, the old palace quarter and viewpoints over the Strait of Gibraltar, with the Spanish coast on the horizon on clear days. It is the best way to understand the former International Zone that inspired so many writers and painters, from Matisse to the Beat Generation.

Good to know before your Tangier city tour

Wear comfortable shoes: the medina is hilly and cobbled. On Friday at midday some shops close for prayers, so we simply change the order of the visits. Your Tangier city tour lasts about four hours and can be scheduled in the morning or in the afternoon, with drop-off at your hotel, the port or a local restaurant.
